Norns REPL

This is a very simple extension that allows you to interact with Norns in a VSCode terminal, much like you would from the Maiden web interface.

Demo

The extension connects to Matron on Norns using a websocket. Lua code entered in the terminal is sent to Matron when you press return, and the results are printed in the terminal. There is basic support for command history using the up/down arrows.

Please file any bugs you find as a GitHub Issue!
