Eclipse + pydev - Missing Console-view toolbar in minimized mode

Question

I'm using Eclipse + pydev plugin as the development environment. In fact my application needs a big console area and I usually resize the console and minimize it, so that whenever I run the application, it automatically shows up.

But when I minimize the console view or detach it or mark it as Fast View, the toolbar for controlling the running process and locking the scroll disappears.

Can I have both minimize functionality and Process control toolbar ?

Eclipse : Galileo Build id: 20090619-0625
Pydev : 1.5.3

Answer 1

I used eclipse with pydev and it drove me nuts. I use Netbeans 6.8 right now which came bundled with its own python plugin that is a lot better. Especially when it comes to debugging.
