safari and chrome javascript console multiline
JavascriptBrowserDebuggingJavascript Problem Overview
Firebug has a multiline feature in their console tool. Is there a way to get this functionality with the debugger tool in Safari/Chrome?
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
Shift-Enter on Windows allows multi-line entry where Option-Enter works on Mac.
A more fully featured editor is in the works.
Solution 2 - Javascript
For Google Chrome, you can Sources >> Snippets >> + New Snippet in the Developer Console.
Once you have written your multi-line code, you can execute it with the 
button or with Ctrl + Enter as mentioned on the button.
This is like a text-editor which has a host of keyboard shortcuts which you can find under Settings >> Shortcuts under Text Editor
Good Luck.

I recommend this:
- Write
debugger;and hit Enter, in the console tab - This takes you to the Sources tab; if not, make sure debugger breakpoints are active
- Now you can write whatever you want in the Sources tab, which acts like a full IDE with features like newline and indentation
- Select any part of your code to run, and right-click, choose
Evaluate in console

Not yet.
UPDATE: the status of the issue I linked to is now "fixed".

Try pressing option (shift on Windows) at the same time as return. Inserts a newline on Mac.

Shift + Enter seems to work in chrome browser. I am using ubuntu 12.04 as my operating system. Thanks to Mr Bester and Sam Dutton for their inputs.
Solution 7 - Javascript
It is simple ... place semicolons between your multilines and it will work in the console.
For example
if you have html like this
<div id="test">This is a test statement</div>
You could paste following in the console and it will work
var ourTest = document.getElementById('test'); alert(ourTest.innerHTML);
I hope it helped.
