Known issues
------------
- Pasting text is slow on Windows
- Non-ASCII keyboard input has restrictions
- The cursor keys move between Unicode code-points, not grapheme clusters
Configuration
-------------
This script can be customized through a config file ``script-opts/console.conf``
placed in mpv's user directory and through the ``--script-opts`` command-line
option. The configuration syntax is described in `ON SCREEN CONTROLLER`_.
Key bindings can be changed in a standard way, see for example stats.lua
documentation.
Configurable Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``scale``
Default: 1
All drawing is scaled by this value, including the text borders and the
cursor.
If the VO backend in use has HiDPI scale reporting implemented, the option
value is scaled with the reported HiDPI scale.
``font``
Default: unset (picks a hardcoded font depending on detected platform)
Set the font used for the REPL and the console. This probably doesn't
have to be a monospaced font.
``font_size``
Default: 16
Set the font size used for the REPL and the console. This will be
multiplied by "scale."
