Configuration & Project Settings

Project Settings Hub#

Every behavior and visual aspect of the Dev Console Pro can be cleanly managed from the Unity Editor.

Navigate to Edit → Project Settings → Dev Console Pro to access the settings panel. All settings feature detailed hover tooltips explaining what they do.

UI & Layout Configuration#

• Syntax Position Options: You can independently configure where the parameter hints (e.g. <X> <Y> <Z>) and the colored live syntax overlay render. Choose to dock them at the top of the command panel or have them float cleanly right above your input bar.
• Default Log Zoom: Define the default zoom/font size (from 50% to 300%) for the logs in the right panel. The top bar also dynamically wraps its buttons seamlessly when resizing!
• Console Height & Panel Ratio: Control exactly how much screen space the console uses and how wide the left (command list) and right (log view) panels are.
• Zebra Striping: Enable a premium dark slate zebra-striping aesthetic on the panels to dramatically improve readability.

Behavior & Logic#

• Toggle Key: Change the key used to open/close the console (Default is ~ / BackQuote).
• Reflection Fallback: Toggle the ability to execute raw C# expressions via Reflection. You can disable this in shipped release builds if you are worried about security/exploits.
• Pause While Open: When enabled, the console automatically sets Time.timeScale = 0 while open, effectively freezing the game, and restores it when closed.
• Fuzzy Search Strictness: Control how lenient the autocomplete algorithm is when matching your typos.

Logging Options#

• Intercept Unity Logs: When enabled, all native Debug.Log, Debug.LogWarning, and Debug.LogError calls throughout your entire codebase will be intercepted and cleanly formatted inside the in-game Dev Console with rich timestamps and type badges.
• Filter Defaults: Control which log types (Info, Warning, Error) are visible by default when the console opens.

Command Aliases#

Aliases act as shortcuts. You can map long, complex commands to short, easy-to-type abbreviations.

• You can set these in the Project Settings panel under the Command Aliases section.
• Or configure them at runtime by typing alias <shortcut> <target_command> in the console.

Keybindings#

You can bind any console command to a keyboard key so it executes instantly without having to open the console!

• You can configure these in the Project Settings panel.
• Or at runtime via the console by typing bind F1 "time.scale 0".
• These are saved securely via a persistent ScriptableObject so your keybinds carry over between sessions.
