# Console view

This view shows the output of a process and allows you to provide keyboard input to a process. The console shows three different kinds of text, each in a different color.

- Standard output
- Standard error
- Standard input

You can choose the different colors for these kinds of text on the preferences pages (Window > Preferences > Debug > Console).
