I can't seem to find a way to add a watch expression for the selected JavaScript text in Chrome developer tools, the same way I would in Firebug with Ctrl+W. Is there really no way to do this in Chrome? I can't even right-click the selection as it unselects as soon as I do it, and there is no "Add watch" context menu item. Do I really have to type in every watch I want to add while debugging JS?
You can do it by clicking 'add to watch' after right clicking
You can also select the expression/variable and hit Ctrl + Shift + A
According to Chrome DevTool Docs - Watch variables in Sources, you can do it in 1 of 3 ways:
- Highlight text, right click and choose "Add selected text to watches"
- Note: this used to be "Add to watch"
- Highlight text and press Ctrl + Shift + A
- Add from the watch panel directly in the top right corner of the sources tab
You need to double click the variable name, then right click will reveal the add to watch option.
