You can double click line numbers to jump from source files to unminified output files. Other than that it seems limited. See the comment below.

I found this to be useful during development. When using webpack-dev-server (or some other tooling) without minifying js, you can double click line numbers in the source files to jump to the compiled but unminified output file.

I just discovered this by accident and then found this comment from Dec 21, 2016: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=532174#c7

You can double click on the line number to jump into the original file, but that's pretty useless if the minified file has all newlines removed :(

Having word wrap would make this work better https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=167287

I think there was some support for double clicking on a section of the minified file to jump into the source mapped file, but it seems to have regressed of late.

Ideally in a minified file with a source map, right clicking (or double clicking) anywhere in the minified file should allow jumping to that exact file, line and column
