Console View
This view shows the output of the execution of your program and enables you to enter input for the program.
The console shows three different kinds of text, each is in a different color, default as follows:
- Black: Standard output
- Red: Standard error
- Green: Standard input
You can choose the different colors for these kinds of text in the preferences pages (Window > Preferences > Debug > Console).
Console View Context Menu:
When you right-click in the Console view (or when you press Shift+F10 when the focus is on the Console view), you could see the following options:
Edit options: Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All
These options perform the standard edit operations. Which options are available depends on where the focus is in the Console view. For example, you cannot paste text into the program output, but you can paste text to the bottom of the file.

Opens a Find/Replace dialog that operates only on the text in the Console view.
