The consoles built in IntelliJ IDEA completely correspond to the shell consoles.

Besides the standard functionality, these consoles feature:

• Syntax check with inspections.
• Automated insertion of paired brackets, quotes and braces.
• Scrolling through the history of commands using the arrow keys.
• Quick documentation lookup Ctrl+Q
