How do I add a watch to my Chrome Developer Tools?

Question

I can’t find a way to add the clock expression for the selected JavaScript text in the Chrome developer tools, just like in Firebug with Ctrl + W. Is there really no way to do this in Chrome? I can’t even right-click on the selected item because it deselects as soon as I do this and there is no “Add Watch” context menu item. Do I really have to enter all the hours I want to add during JS debugging?

Answer 1

You can do this by clicking “add to watch” after by right-clicking

You can also select an expression / variable and press Ctrl + Shift + A

Answer 2

According to Chrome DevTool Docs - view variables in sources , you can do this in one of 3 ways:

• Select the text, right-click and select " Add selected text to the watch ."
  • Note: previously it was Add to View
• Select the text and press Ctrl + Shift + A
• Add from the clock panel directly in the upper right corner of the sources tab

Answer 3

You need to double-click the variable name,, then right-click to open the add to watch option.
