Debug Print Helper

A VS Code extension that helps you add language-specific debug print statements quickly while coding.

Features

This extension adds a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+D or Cmd+Shift+D on Mac) that inserts a debug print statement below your selected variable or expression, automatically adapting to the programming language you're using.

How it works:

1. Select a variable or expression in your code
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+D (or Cmd+Shift+D on Mac)
3. A language-appropriate print statement is automatically inserted on the next line

Supported Languages:~

• Python: print("variable => ", variable)
• JavaScript/TypeScript: console.log("variable =>", variable);
• Java: System.out.println("variable => " + variable);
• C/C++: printf("variable => %d\n", variable);
• C#: Console.WriteLine("variable => {0}", variable);
• Go: fmt.Printf("variable => %v\n", variable)
• PHP: echo "variable => " . variable;
• Ruby: puts "variable => #{variable}"
• Rust: println!("variable => {:?}", variable);
• Swift: print("variable => \(variable)")
• PowerShell: Write-Host "variable => " $variable
• Shell/Bash: echo "variable => $variable"
• And more...

Customizing the Keyboard Shortcut

The default shortcut for this extension is Ctrl+Shift+D (or Cmd+Shift+D on Mac). If you want to change it to a different shortcut:

1. Open VS Code
2. Go to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts (or press Ctrl+K Ctrl+S)
3. Search for "Add Debug Print Statement"
4. Click on the pencil icon to the left of the command
5. Press your desired key combination
6. Press Enter to save
