Interactive Console - Help

Important notes

Python console appears as a tool window every time you choose the corresponding command on the Tools menu.
An interactive console is divided into two panes: the lower pane serves for user input, the upper pane displays results and messages.
Use up and down arrow keys to browse through the history of executed commands, and repeat the desired ones.
Python console is available for both local and remote interpreters.
Color and font scheme of a console is configurable on the Console Colors and Console Fonts pages of the Color Scheme editor settings.

Item	Tooltip and shortcut	Description
	Rerun console `Ctrl+F5`	Click this button to terminate the current process and launch the new one.
	Stop `Ctrl+F2`	Click this button to stop the current process. Clicking the button once invokes soft kill allowing the application to catch the `SIGINT` event and perform graceful termination (on Windows, the `Ctrl+C` event is emulated). After the button is clicked once, it is replaced with indicating that subsequent click will lead to force termination of the application, e.g. on Unix `SIGKILL` is sent.
	Close `Ctrl+Shift+F4`	Click this button to close the selected tab of the Run tool window and terminate the current process.
	Execute Current Statement `Enter`.	Click this button to execute the command at caret, entered in the input pane of the console.
	Help `F1`	Use this icon or shortcut to open the corresponding help page.
	Show variables	Click this button to show in a separate pane the variables declared in the console. Right-click a variable in this pane reveals a context menu.
	Browse History `Ctrl+Alt+E`	Open a dialog that shows all the statements that you have run for the corresponding data source. See also, View history of executed statements.
	Attach Debugger	Attaches the debugger process to the console.
	New Console	Click this button to start a new console session.
