2.13 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.

Some of these windows, especially the python window, might not be visible in your version of GPS, if GPS wasn't compiled with the support for that specific scripting language.

To show the shell consoles, select the menu Tools.

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