Description

@Merith-TK

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Arguments to the program. for example the ability to specify which mingw one would want to load, mingw64, mingw32, or msys2. like we can in VSCode

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This is accomplished in VSCode via this directive in settings.json

    "terminal.integrated.env.windows":
    {
        "MSYSTEM": "MINGW64",
        "CHERE_INVOKING":"1"
    },

My thougt process allowed something like

"commandlineEnv" : 
{
    "MSYSTEM" : "MINGW64"
},

In the settins.json file example. just like VSCode

Please do note, i know little to nothing about this language that this program is written in, so i don't know how difficult it would be to implement.
