Save / export Chrome's JavaScript console input history

Question

Is there anyway that I can save or export the history of JavaScript console input (console history) in Google Chrome? I'm not looking to save the output or the errors, so hovering my mouse over the console box, right-clicking, and selecting Save as... is not the solution. I don't want to have to scroll up with the arrow keys and copy-and-paste the contents each time.

I figured out a weird solution that seems to work:

• Open Chrome Developer Tools (press CTRL + SHIFT + J)

• If the developer tools window is docked, undock into a separate window (open the ⋮ menu to choose docking option)

• Inside the developer tools window, press CTRL + SHIFT + J which will open a developer tools window for the developer tools window!

• Inside the second developer tools window, enter the following command inside console:
  localStorage.getItem("consoleHistory")

This should print the console history, encoded as JSON inside the console. You can decode the JSON into an array using this command:

JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("consoleHistory"))

Or copy the JSON to clipboard using:

copy(localStorage.getItem("consoleHistory"))
