ConsoleX
Instantly insert, comment, or delete debug logs across 17+ languages.
ConsoleX is a lightweight VS Code extension that supercharges your debugging workflow. Select a variable, press one shortcut, and get the correct log statement for your language — automatically.
Features
- Smart Variable Logging — Select a variable and press
Ctrl+Shift+M to insert a labeled log statement, even inside multi-line objects, arrays, function calls, and method chains.
- Checkpoint Logging — Press the shortcut without any selection to insert a "checkpoint reached" log.
- 17+ Languages — One shortcut works across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust, and more.
- Bulk Actions — Comment, uncomment, or delete all ConsoleX logs in a file with a single command.
- Smart Placement — Logs are inserted after the complete statement, not in the middle of multi-line expressions.
