Yes, I use F12 in the browser all the time to test out Javascript snippets with the console. I'm tired of that (for the moment anyway).
I've read that in Visual Studio you can use the immediate window to run Javascript interactively.. I've haven't tried it that hard. I think when I did it told me it can't evaluate while in design mode... ugh, what a pain.
I do like to use Visual Studio Code (sublime text historically) sometimes to just mess around with syntax of snippets. Would also be nice if I could just run Javascript there too quickly. Is there a package I could download in VSCode to do so? Or something already built in?

Open the JavaScript code file in Text Editor, then use shortcut Control + Alt + N (or ⌃ Control + ⌥ Option + N on macOS), or press F1 and then select/type Run Code , the code will run and the output will be shown in the Output Window.
On the Debug menu, choose Windows > Immediate.
After installation of the code runner extension, open JavaScript Code in VSCode. Press CTRL+ALT+N shortcut or you may press F1 then write Run Code to run the code.
With your project open in Visual Studio, right-click on a folder or your project node in Solution Explorer (right pane), and choose Add > New Item. In the New File dialog box, under the General category, choose the file type that you want to add, such as JavaScript File, and then choose Open.
As of (at least) my current version of VS Code (1.5.2), the "Debug Console", while debugging, lets you run arbitrary JavaScript code as you would in the VS Immediate Window. (Similar to as you would for the Chrome Dev Tools Console.)
