2.15 The Shell and Python Windows

These windows give access to the various scripting languages supported by GPS, and allow you to type commands such as editing a file or compiling without using the menu items or the mouse.

An OS shell window is now also available in GPS, providing a simple access to the underlying OS shell as defined by the SHELL or COMSPEC environment variables.

To show the shell consoles, select the menu Tools->Consoles.

See Scripting GPS for more information on using scripting languages within GPS.
