[request] add more customzation options to the console

Open Antisunny opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I'm using MacOS Catalina 10.15.1, CotEditor v3.8.5 (MAS).

It should be admitted that the write to console command is a great feature in v3.8.5, but it's so limited as to ...

found

  • The "timestamp and running script name" line
  • The prefixed spaces each line following the "timestamp and running script name" line

is unnecessary and annoying.

problems:

  • the line height: the space between lines too close.
  • font ligated, text in the timestamp part is ligated or not monospaced as declared.
  • font family, maybe monospaced as declared, but not same as the editor font I set in the preferences.
  • cannot the prompted small console window to the most front

expected

it would be better if cot

  1. supports tabs in console window, such as create new console window, create new console tab commands
  2. supports clear console command
  3. adds options to turn off the "timestamp and running script name" line and the prefixed spaces
  4. supports text settings, like font family, font size, line height, letter spacing, .... (better IF there will be "Console" tab in the Preferences )
  5. supports being attached to the main window, to the right, to the bottom
  6. supports

for me the following points would be nice:

  • an applescript command to clear the console before writing to it
  • an option (command or setup feature) to disable timestamp and script name
