The cells of a code console show the order in which code was executed in the kernel, as opposed to the explicit ordering of cells in a notebook document. Code consoles also display rich output, just like notebook cells. (create-console)= Create a new code console by clicking the `+` button in the {ref}`file browser ` and selecting the kernel: ```{raw} html

``` (run-code)= Run code using `Shift Enter`. Use the up and down arrows to browse the history of previously-run code: ```{raw} html

``` (tab-completion)= Tab completion (`Tab`) and tooltips (`Shift Tab`) work as in the notebook: ```{raw} html

``` (clear-cell)= Clear the cells of the code console without restarting the kernel by right-clicking on the code console and selecting “Clear Console Cells”: ```{raw} html

``` (log-inspect)= Creating a code console from the {ref}`file menu ` lets you select an existing kernel for the code console. The code console then acts as a log of computations in that kernel, and a place you can interactively inspect and run code in the kernel: ```{raw} html
