Description from store

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

Compared to Chrome Dev Tools' built-in Snippets editor, BigConsole aims to help users iterate and try out code faster. Where Snippets is more like a light IDE, BigConsole is simpler and geared towards iterating on code as quickly as possible in a multiline, syntax-highlighted REPL.

The code is available at https://github.com/IceCreamYou/Chrome-BigConsole

I found this extension because I didn't know about Chrome Snippets https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/snippets Now I think this extension is needless

Good...But. The console output on the left side is useless, I would much rather see the real developer tools console and keep BigConsole just for scripting.

Excellent addition to the Chrome Dev Tools. After recent Firebug update it can be a good alternative.

Hi, very nice! I've missed that from Firebug, but is there autocomplete option? It would be awesome to have it here.

Works well, allows me to enter multiple lines of javaScript and run in the console. Nice tool. Might be nice to change the panel width but works fine as is.
