Add clg or log snippet for quick console.log() insertion

[sabbirosa]

Hi RunJS team,

First of all, thank you for building such a clean and useful JavaScript runtime! I use RunJS regularly for testing snippets and quick prototyping.

One feature I really miss, especially coming from editors like VS Code, is the ability to quickly insert console.log() using shortcuts or snippets like clg or log.

Suggested Feature:

Introduce a shorthand or snippet-like functionality:

• Typing clg and hitting Tab (or Enter) could expand to console.log()

• Ideally, the cursor could be placed inside the parentheses for immediate typing

It's a small feature that would have a big usability impact. It will greatly speed up the debugging workflow and users coming from VS Code or similar environments are already used to this productivity boost.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks again for your great work!

@sabbirosa this is already possible exactly as you described via snippets.

First, create a snippet with the name set to the trigger text, in this case clg:

Set the cursor position via the $0 placeholder.

Then, in the editor, you can type clg and hit tab:

Damn didn’t know that I can use this feature this way! Thanks buddy!
