Interesting, do you know where dir() is defined in the spec? It seems like a non-standard API that is not available to Safari or Firefox.

That's not a property on window, but a custom shortcut implemented inside of Chrome's Developer Tools.

Yes, this variable only exists when Chrome's Developer Tools is open.
but console.log is such a common method, may you can provide a simpler one with fewer keystrokes for easy input?like log.
tks

I feel pretty certain that this could be solved by some basic JS that aliases log to console.log etc. I don't think this really needs a lot of platform buy-in. I'm going to close this, but thanks for filing.
