Code Jumping
In the old IDE implementation it was nice clicking on lines in the stack trace to jump to that line of code in VS/VSCode. We can't really do that in the web version natively - because we can't run code.
One solution is to send a message back to the game and then the game runs the code to open VS to that file/line. That works but obviously doesn't work when the game is closed. There are other,
better solutions though.
Quick Switching
At the moment we've got it so when you press the console key it opens the console webpage if it's not open, and switches to it if it is. Then if you press the console key on the webpage it switches back to the game. This assumes that you've got the console/webpage open and is the selected tab.
The solution to this, which is the route I think we're going to take, is to simply show the webpage console in game like a traditional console. This feels like the right move as it means you'll still be able to easily access the console in full screen mode.
