* command aliasing
* **auto-reloading** of scripts when script file is modified

* run JavaScript one-liners *directly in shell* (do some math or whatever)
* separated JSON configuration for every script
* multiple **tabs** having separated JavaScript environments
### More features:
* modules in style of NodeJS
* scriptable argument/input/path completion

## Getting started
1. Latest released build can be found on [releases page](https://github.com/Namek/TheConsole/releases/).
2. To toggle visibility of The Console hit ``CTRL + ` ``.
3. The Console by itself can't do much besides running JavaScript. Just go into `%APPDATA/TheConsole/scripts` (create if doesn't exists) and create some `.js` files. Every single `.js` file (which doesn't belong to some module) is a command name, i.e. `currency.js` can be called using `currency` command.
## Build from sources
Launch `mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true` to get `target/theconsole-{version}.jar`.
