Package that opens console whenever a new window or tab is opened. Useful for package developers.

## Installation

### Package Control

2. Choose *“Install Package”* from the Command Palette (<kbd>Super</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>p</kbd>)
3. Type *“Persistent Console”* and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>

### Using Git

1. Change to your Sublime Text `Packages` directory
2. Clone repository `git clone https://github.com/idleberg/sublime-persistent-console.git 'Persistent Console'`

### Manual installation

1. Download the latest [stable release](https://github.com/idleberg/sublime-persistent-console/releases)
2. Unzip the archive to your Sublime Text `Packages` directory

## Usage

To disable the console being openend with each new window or tab, you can use the *Persistent Console: Toggle* command or by changing the *Package Settings* manually.

### Keymap

Additionally, this package provides a shortcut to toggle the console.

Operating System | Shortcut
-----------------|-----------------------------------------------
macOS            | <kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>J</kbd>
Linux, Windows   | <kbd>Super</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>J</kbd>

Yep, that's the same shortcut as in Google Chrome. If, for example, you're used to the shortcut used in Mozilla Firefox on macOS, you can easily change it by opening *Preferences: Key Bindings*  and add the following:

```json
[
  {
    "keys": [
      "super+alt+k"
    ],
    "command": "toggle_console"
  }
]
```
