PayloadStudio will use this as a location to tell you important info. It's also used for DuckyScript Debugging/Breakpoints. Errors, messages, and status updates will appear here. Hide the console to keep it out of the way while building your payload or open it for an easy notepad-like environment to test your keystroke injection in! No more juggling multiple windows!
The console can be used to test parts of your payload, it's also a convenient text editor with the ability to Edit, Save, Clear, and toggle Open with ease.
ESC / Escape will also minimize the console if it is open in the default keybinding mode
