Console

The Console is the input line at the bottom of the screen. Its purpose is twofold:

  1. To input console commands, when prefaced with the prompt

  2. In Book View, to type along to books and advance the cursor

It can be made larger or smaller, or even collapsed, using the drag handle above it.

The prompt

Commands need to be prefaced with the prompt, which is > by default. It can be set to anything, even an empty string.

Console commands

This list can also be accessed in retype in the About Dialog and by entering the help console command.
