"Console" is opened everytime I run pandown

[ghost]

Whenever I run pandown, a little "console" (it's not called that, but I don't know the name…) is displayed, even when no output in that window is generated. I would like pandown to not open up this console pane, if it has nothing to show. Is that possible?

Hey there! Pandown respects Sublime's global show_panel_on_build setting, so you can add this to your Preferences.sublime-settings file:

"show_panel_on_build": false

You could also add that to your syntax-specific settings if you want the panel to show for everything but Markdown.

Thanks, that worked. In order for me to see the panel manually, I also added the following shortcut to my key bindings file:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+b"], "command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "output.exec"} }

Great! Sublime has a built-in shortcut, Super+Alt+B, if that's useful; you can also toggle it from the menu under Tools→Build Results→Show Build Results. Good luck!

(NB: super+alt+b is the standard shortcut for making something bold by people who have Markdown Editing installed - which is, I assume, probably 99% of pandown users.)

Aha! Thank you for that :-). I do not myself use Markdown Editing, so I wasn't aware. Good to have that in my back pocket.
