Pressing "Open system shell" opens the shell, but I don't think WebREPL is running. All I'm seeing is plain command line, waiting for regular inputs, not like WebREPL. Am I missing some dependency or something?
Oops, I forgot that we were talking about WebREPL. In this case I can't offer any work-arounds at the moment.

Also, I am not quite sure I understand what you meant by "send your keystrokes in normal way", could you please explain?
I meant just pressing the keys in terminal window and doing sys.stdin.read(1) in your MicroPython code. But at the moment Thonny provides terminal window for MicroPython REPL only via serial connection.
Understood... That's really unfortunate. Thank you for your time, though. Perhaps this functionality could be something you might consider for the future versions of Thonny, if it's not too difficult to implement?

I added this to my TODO list:

Great! WebREPL support is just what I need.
Unfortunately, it's not very stable for me. Using a TinyPICO ESP32. Some things not working for me:
- Run current script
- Start/stop
To make code changes, I have to first save, and then restart the board (ctrl-d). Also frequently have to restart Thonny.
Also, any plans for Github support? Would be great to have files on the board automatically sync to GitHub (or somewhere on my computer).

No, at the moment I don't have plans for this.
