Some parameters defining the console appearance and behaviour can be adjusted from the Console Configuration entry in the Extra tab of the Launchpad window.
this is from the Orbiter Help file, Orbiter Scripting/Invoking the interpreter.

I can't see any entry in the Extra tab, senility or its been moved?

Edit:
Looks like senility, its the bottom entry in the Extra tab. Stared at that page for ages and didn't see it. Good start for a Wednesday.

Its Semi-Senility, console configuration wasn't on the Extra tab when I looked this morning.
Thought I was going gaga, then realised it only appears when Luaconsole is ticked in the Modules tab...

Very clever, but it could confuse a stupid person:

This behaviour is dictated by the programme logic: the configuration is part of the console module. When it isn't loaded, orbiter knows nothing about consoles and how to configure them. So the entry in the Extra list can only be displayed when the console module is activated.

In any case, given the amount of configuration options currently supported, it hardly seems worth agonising about it.
 
Its completly logical, and well thought out. Thats why I didn't get it...:)
Playing with LuaMFD now...
