Some time ago, I noticed that when pressing ñ (a special spanish character), a chat is opened, and I can type lua commands in it, that helped me A L OT debugging my mod, because I was able to print the values of the variables in-game, without editing code.

Is that something that shouldnt be there??
can normal keyboards users access that chat??
if it shouldnt be there, please keep it, it helps a lot

also it can be used to cheat

We have kept it around on purpose for now. It can be super useful for all sorts of things. Yes it is accessible to anyone (not just a spanish keyboard layout). We will for sure restrict it in some cases (like multiplayer - if we get to do it).
