Create shortcut to console.log() in Chrome

Question

Because I\'m lazy, I created a function log that basically is just an abbreviation of console.log:

function log() {
  console.log.a         


        

Answer 1

When I reported it, it was refused but the answer was simple - create the shortcut like this:

var log = console.log.bind(console);

This doesn't leave out the line number, whilst you can call it like log(...).

Answer 2

I just created a module to do that.

Check out: https://github.com/ahlechandre/consl

Install

npm install consl --save-dev

Usage

const { cl } = require('consl');

cl('Outputs a message on the Console using a quick');

Answer 3

In my case I've set up an AutoHotKey shortcut with Ctrl + Alt + L as below:

^!l::Send console.log();{Left}{Left}

The good thing is it brings the cursor back inside the brackets for quick typing.

Answer 4

Tried a few things, but I don't think you can do this. As soon as you wrap console.log, the line nr will be the line where this wrap is to be found in the code. I suppose we have to live with that then?
