Separating RTT shell and console

[nicogou]

Hi, I am working on a project where I want to have access to the shell and logging over RTT, and use the console separately over UART.
In subsys/shell/backends/Kconfig.backends:

config SHELL_BACKEND_RTT
	bool "RTT backend"
	select CONSOLE
	select RTT_CONSOLE
	select SEGGER_RTT_CUSTOM_LOCKING
	depends on USE_SEGGER_RTT
	# RTT backend can only be called from thread context.
	depends on !(SHELL_LOG_BACKEND && LOG_MODE_IMMEDIATE)
	help
	  Enable RTT backend.

SHELL_BACKEND_RTT selects RTT_CONSOLE, which causes the console output to always be outputted to RTT as well.
Is this intentional ? When I comment the select RTT_CONSOLE line I get the behaviour I need, but maybe there are reasons for this.

I do not have an answer to your question, but you could just send a PR that does the change you need and get feedback that way.
