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 `mp.options functions`_.
Key bindings can be changed in a standard way, see for example stats.lua
documentation.
Configurable Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``font``
Default: unset (picks a hardcoded font depending on detected platform)
Set the font used for the REPL and the console.
This has to be a monospaced font for the completion suggestions to be
aligned correctly.
``font_size``
Default: 24
Set the font size used for the REPL and the console. This will be
multiplied by ``display-hidpi-scale``.
``border_size``
Default: 1.5
Set the font border size used for the REPL and the console.
``scale_with_window``
Default: ``auto``
Whether to scale the console with the window height. Can be ``yes``, ``no``,
or ``auto``, which follows the value of ``--osd-scale-by-window``.
``case_sensitive``
Default: no on Windows, yes on other platforms.
Whether Tab completion is case sensitive. Only works with ASCII characters.
``history_dedup``
Default: true
Remove duplicate entries in history as to only keep the latest one.
``font_hw_ratio``
Default: auto
The ratio of font height to font width.
Adjusts table width of completion suggestions.
Values in the range 1.8..2.5 make sense for common monospace fonts.
