It depends on which console you are looking at and how you are running your program. In IntelliJ-based IDEs, most consoles are read-only, such as build output, test runners, log consoles, many debugger consoles, etc. While consoles accepting input can be started by Run Configuration (e.g. Java “Application” run config, Python “Script” run config, etc.) and the built-in Terminal running your program from the command line.
If you see “This view is read-only” when you try to type, that usually means you’re in a non-interactive console (build/test/log/debugger) or in the wrong tab of a tool window. Switch to:
I hope this helps!
