Summary

NOTE: I do not plan to update this extension to Manifest V3, meaning it will no longer be compatible with Chrome 127+ (June 2024). Chrome Dev Tools' built-in Snippets editor has a lot of the same functionality (click the Sources pane, then choose Snippets in the left sidebar) if you also "Show console drawer" (hit Escape). It should be possible to get a horizontal layout using something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16538221


Adds a panel to the Chrome Developer Tools that provides a multi-line split console, like in Firefox.

Includes:

  • Vertical split style multiline REPL
  • Syntax highlighting and nice editor things thanks to Ace Editor
  • Pretty-printed output
  • "Run" button or CTRL+Enter to execute code
  • "Clear" button to clear REPL
  • "History" drop-down to restore previously executed code
