How do I hide the bottom console text output area in Sublime Text 3?

Question

This is probably really simple, but it's frustrating me so much. I'm using Sublime Text 3. Sometimes my plugins output code to a little window at the bottom like this:

And I can't hide it no matter what I try. The only way I can get rid of it is by closing the program and opening it again. Does anyone know how to close this?

I believe it's ctrl + `, or View > Hide Console – Vaccination

@Vaccination I had to push it twice, but that seemed to work! – Alkahest

What OS are you using? On OSX, simply pressing esc closes the console. – Hondo

@Hondo I'm on Windows 8. I just tried esc and yes, that works. So simple, I knew it. Thanks anyway. If only they had a little cross in the corner. – Alkahest

Answer 1

Just have to click in the console and simply press esc.

Or to show and hide the console use ctrl + `

Or toggle menu View > Show/Hide Console

Also note: In Sublime Text 3, open Preferences > Key Bindings - User, and put this in there: { "keys": ["ctrl+f1"], "command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "console", "toggle": true} }. You can see all the bindings in the Key Bindings - Default mcissel" – Monometallic

Answer 2

In my case, Esc button is working to remove the side bar(terminal/console bar).
