Offer option to have the log pane be a tab in find panel, instead of an output pane.
Regardless of vs-code's debug.internalConsoleOptions setting, LeoJS shows the Console on startup.
This is a minor irritation, but I would like to see it fixed.
Update:
As a workaround, I added a shortcut (Alt-Ctrl-Y) for "View: Previous Panel". This allows me to open the Leo Log with:
Ctrl-Shift-Y (Toggle Debug Console) followed by Alt-Shift-Y.
@edreamleo Thanks for this report.
I know Leojs (and leointeg) try to show their log pane when starting up. Is that what you are referring to? (perhaps I should reconsider that behavior given there are now many ways to execute the 'show Log Pane' command)
...or is it the specific 'Console' as shown in this screenshot? : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging
...or the generic 'Output pane' region as a whole, shown here labeled as 'D' in this screenshot? : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface
Note: In windows you can easily 'Drag' a rectangle on screen to capture a screenshot with the Shift+Windows Key+S in case you want to capture a region of your screen and paste it directly in this thread.
@boltex
Doh. I see that "generic" output region shows the Leo log, so there is good reason for LeoJS's existing behavior.
To answer your question: I was referring to the generic 'Output pane' region as a whole, that is, the region that Shift-Control-Y affects. On startup, that region shows Leo's log. The first Shift-Control-Y changes the focus to the (empty) 'Debug Console'. The second Shift-Control-Y closes the entire region.
Summary
Imo, this is a minor issue. It can easily wait until LeoJS 1.0.1 :-)
If possible, I would prefer hiding the entire region on startup. A toggle-leo-log command could show/hide the generic 'Output pane' region, showing Leo's log when making the region visible.
@boltex Alternatively, perhaps the Leo console could be moved to left-hand area, the area that contains 'Outline', 'Timeline', etc.
Again, this can wait until well after LeoJS 1.0.
@edreamleo Having the leo log pane on the left instead of below as an output pane is a great idea! I'll make it switchable with an options setting. (i changed the title of this issue to match this idea)
@edreamleo I forgot to mention the often used and well-known CTRL+J shortcut by VSCode users that toggles (open/close) the whole bottom panel itself.
@edreamleo You're right that it's annoying to have the log pane forcefully open the bottom output pane to show itself at startup.
I'll make the log pane be forcefully shown only at the very first startup when LeoJS is first installed, or, when a new version update of LeoJS just got downloaded & started.
