BigConsole

Download extension

Adds a multiline JavaScript console to the Chrome developer tools.Adds a panel to the Chrome Developer Tools that provides a multi-line split console, like in Firebug.

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.

Using FirebugLite is another possible alternative, but it has a number of limitations.
