[Solved]-How can I change the default Eclipse console?-eclipse

the default console view in eclipse, is not designed to be a terminal (though you could make it act like one). hence you wont get all the goodies that you just mentioned.

if it's a shell to run terminal commands (linux based) that you are looking for, you could take a look at wickedshell plugin for eclipse: http://www.wickedshell.net/
