Cursor JS Console Utils

中文说明

Use Shift+Alt+L to quickly insert console.log statements in Cursor / VS Code. Inspired by vscode-js-console-utils.

Features

• No selection: Inserts a blank console.log(); at the cursor, with the cursor inside the parentheses so you can type a variable or expression directly.
• With selection: Based on the selected text, inserts a labeled log at the end of the line containing the last selection, in the format:

  console.log('variableName: ', variableName);

• Multiple selections: Supports multiple selections; inserts multiple console.log lines in document order, one per selection.

Installation

From Cursor Extension Market (recommended)

Search for Cursor JS Console Utils and install.

From VSIX

1. In the project root, run: npm run pkg
2. In VS Code / Cursor: press Ctrl+Shift+P → type Install from vsix → select the generated .vsix file.

Usage

1. Command Palette: Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS), then type and select "Insert console.log for selection".
2. Keyboard shortcut: Shift+Alt+L.

Examples

Action	Result
Cursor on a line, no selection, run command	Inserts console.log(); at that position
Select variable userName, run command	Inserts console.log('userName: ', userName); at the end of that line
Multi-select a, b, c (three selections), run command	Inserts three lines after the line of the last selection: console.log('<var>: ', <var>);

Notes

• Language-agnostic: The extension does not check file type; it inserts console.log in any file. If you use it in non-JavaScript/TypeScript files, ensure it fits your project (e.g. remove or replace with the appropriate print/log for that language).
• Insert position: With selection(s), all log lines are inserted at the end of the line containing the last selection (after a newline), not after each selection.
• Shortcut conflicts: Shift+Alt+L may conflict with other extensions or system shortcuts. You can search for Insert console.log for selection in Keyboard Shortcuts and change it.

Requirements

• VS Code version ≥ 1.75.0 (or a compatible Cursor version).
