Going back to the original point of this post, Since you constantly use the terminal why not alt tab to the terminal window you have open and just do your command there? I think in a way implementing this into Do kind of defeats the purpose. Though I support the "piping" idea, just not sure how

Well, you can "pipe" output of one action to another. Like I can upload a file to ImageShack, pipe the URL which is the output into TinyURL, and then send that to Twitter or set it as my Pidgin status all by "piping" output to actions. All you have to do is use an action that returns output as som

While not adding a terminal to Do, what about having the ability to capture the output from a command in the Selected Text buffer in Do? So I can run something like, oh, I dunno, `date`, and have the output available to Google, or open a file, or tweet, or whatever else I can possibly think to do

So far, the use cases you mention are satisfied by the GNOMETerminal plugin. Do is meant to be the glue between activities on your computer, not a replacement for the activities themselves; we really do not want Do to become a monolithic app, I even argued against adding a calendar yo Doc
