Output window to Auto Scroll?

Greetings All,
A New CudaText user here moving from Atom since its sundown is coming December 15. It appears that CudaText will be my new go-to editor. After figuring out how to set up a hotkey to run Python and Lua files, how might I go about having the output window auto-scroll to the last line after the file has run? The output window seems to get stuck and I have to move it to see the last line printed by the executed file. I found a plugin called "Sync_Scroll" but its description doesn't seem suited for my purpose. Searching the General-CudaText forum hasn't revealed anything. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Eric A.

The Output is filled by some plugin, right? by External Tools or Runner (I prefer Runner). then it is the job of plugin to scroll this list. The ExtTools support is paused, Runner is more easy to fix. Pls write the request to https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/issues so more ppl can see it.

Hm, I tested it on Runner plugin, and it already scrolls the Output to the end! at least on compiling the free-pascal app.

Hi Alexsey,
Thanks for responding so quickly! Yes, it is the External_Tools plugin. When I ran my hotkey "F5" as assigned via the plugin for this .lua script file, the output window did scroll near the last line, but I still had to roll the mouse wheel to view the last output line. I'll investigate the "runner" method for advantages as I don't know how to adjust the External_Tools plugin to suit.
Cheers and Thanks,
Eric A.

I asked the ExtTools author (Kvichans) about this, pls wait.

plugin ExtTools was patched (update - tomorrow), and tested.
