Is there a better way to reload the an extension than going to
chrome://settings/extensions#, manually opening the extension and
clicking "reload". I sure hope so!

You may want to give https://github.com/exploid/chrome-extension-reloader-macro a try, it lets you bind option-r to reloading an extension and the page (if the extension you're working on has content scripts).

I personally do not mind going to chrome://extensions, but I wish I did not have to un-hide the reload button after each time I clicked it.

Hi, I entered a bug about that very annoyance some time ago and it was
fixed in chrome 18 (at least). In 18.0.1025.1 dev, the twisty goes
away altogether. (yay!)

thanks!

this works!

Is there a keystroke to bring up the debug console? That's my next irritant ;)

For the current page, you can use command-option-j (on the Mac, see the View -> Developer -> JavaScript Console menu command and its accelerator on other platforms).

For popups, you have to right-click on the popup and click "inspect
popup"...Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any shortcuts for accessing the
console of a popup.

"inspect popup".

I know after doing "inspect popup" you can do cmd+r (ctrl+r on
windows) in the debug console for the popup and it reloads
