Extension Usage Instructions

                        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.
