Is there a way to watch for the keyup event when editing a resource via Chrome's dev tools?

Question

I'm creating a Chrome extension that allows people to edit the same resource at the same time via Chrome's inspector. Right now things are only synchronized upon saving via chrome.devtools.inspectedWindow.onResourceContentCommitted.addListener but it would be nice to replicate each other's actions in real-time.

And since it's related, I should probably also ask if it's even possible to programmatically update the resource (as shown within Chrome's dev tools) so that changes can be reflected. I suppose I could force a redownload of the resource, but diffing and applying patches would be much more efficient.

Answer 1

I dont believe there's an API for realtime changes, no.

You can use resource.setContent for updating things. Take a look at the fb-flo project or Emmet LiveStyle alpha for implementation.
