Thanks for filing the issue!

@Reporter: Could you please mention the steps to reproduce the issue along with the actual and expected behaviour which helps us to triage it in a better way. From comment#0 "Just throwing out an idea." it is understood that this seems to be a feature request rather than a bug, could you please even confirm on that.

It's a feature request. Also I think instead of using ctrl+enter it might be better to have a slash based command system like "/interval 1000 console.log(x)" which would render it as "setInterval(function(){console.log(x)},1000)" , which takes a lot more time to write. The slash command system can be expanded to use other stuff like "/timeout 1000 console.log(x)".

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding the requester to the cc list.

From comment#2 by reporter the issue seems to be a feature request hence marking it as Untriaged, and requesting someone from respective team to have a look in it this for further inputs.

Thanks! 

Thanks for the request.  I'm interested in knowing what your use cases are.  Could you please describe how you typically use setInterval?

We are currently experimenting on a Console feature that uses intervals ( crbug.com/849875 ).  It help to know whether users tend to log short expressions, objects, numeric values like scrollTop, etc, to gain a better idea of how we can support this use case.

To be quite honest, I don't use intervals for this very often, but when I do it's to check if a variable has changed in some circumstances. For instance "setInterval(function(){console.log(some_var)},1000)". And well, then I refresh the page to get rid of the interval. 

We recently added "Live expressions" to Canary.  In the Console toolbar, there is an 'eye' icon to add an expression that will automatically evaluate inside a 250ms interval.  In your case, you should be able to create a Live expression `some_var`, and it will poll until it is manually removed.  If you'd like to try it out, please check out Canary or wait for M71 to reach stable.
