BigConsole Extension

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
