With a little usability refinement, this will be a ‘must-have’ editor plugin.

Off the top of my head:
- When the text box is focused it’d be nice to run it with
ctrl+enter(or some configurable hotkey) - Your
ctrl+scrollzoom is actually justscrollzoom. edit: pull request sent - I don’t use the built-in text editor(and I didn’t look at your (very nice) readme until after I’d already tried it), so it would be nice to have visual feedback for what script the console is currently running against. This could also be useful if you have a tool script loaded in a scene and you want to watch the viewport while manipulating a node or something.
- It might be interesting to have a mode where instead of running against the open script, it runs against the selected node?
- This is less of a console and more of a REPL, but I’m not sure normal godot users will really know what that is.
To get around the `tool` requirement for executing functions from scripts, you can inject the `tool` keyword into the current script.
I use this pattern in a few of my plugins. It also makes developing plugins easier, as a nice side-effect :)

Friendly Potato PixelsYeah me too. Someone told me yesterday that you can evaluate expression in your code, which is pretty good to know: https://twitter.com/AlfredBaudisch/status/1488209575874596865?s=20&t=5Ue2Dm5jVo3X8cBCST_bwA
Ahah that’s the idea! Just the ability to run functions can be super useful imo
This is something I've wanted since fooooreeeeveer! Way too often I just want to run a 1-2 line snippet to test something, and so I always have little test scenes sitting around in my projects. Have you thought about allowing something more REPL like? This is already great, but that would be my dream. :-)

Export On Save addon for GodotI encountered the same issue as Dark Peace but looks interesting based on the gifs.
