console's Issues

Exposing built-in settings and functionality

Issue:

On a QWERTY keyboard layout, the console key is actually the "^" caret key.
In Unity, this translates to KeyCode.Backslash (numeric: 92)

Suggestions

1. Would be cool if this could be automatically recognized which layout is used and then chooses the appropriate default console key.

2. A mention of this in the FAQ could probably resolve some starting issues for ppl with this layout like myself :)

3. Console.IsConsoleChar also needs include this keycode. It would be great if this would be a public char array to add/remove chars. 👍

Unescaped color tags

Add property and field support

Add suggestion drop down when typing

Can't Initialize console

when scene manager open new scene and click on ~ can't open it and if insert in void start(){} so it reports error.

Cannot open in builds

Using the key input in a build isn't letting me open the console.

Expose useful properties

Use case

• I want to access all lines / text printed to the console to export it into a file but text is private
• I want to access the history but history is private
• I want to change Console.HistorySize but it is private
• I want to change the style, consoleStyle and fpsCounterStyle are private

Suggestion

Expose methods / properties to access and optional modify it.

Adding a License

I am looking to use your console in a project I'm working on, but I don't see a License included in the repository.
Are there plans to add one?

Console.Key property

In your description you say, that there is a Console.Key property, which can be changed to assing a different opening-key. However in your Code (inside the IsConsoleKey methode) you hardcode the value to BackQuote and Tilde. As a user with a German Keyboard-layout i have neither Key directly on my Keyboard. Therefore i would like to ask you, to implemet the Console.Key property as described in your Readme.
