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
