Description

How can I attach an external debugger (like VSCode) to debug a .js extension for Tiled I'm currently working?

The javascript "debugger" command also just shows "Unimplemented code" on the Tiled console. IMHO, it should pause the script execution so you can connect a debugger and continue in step-by-step.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Tiled's JavaScript extension debugging support and the handling of the JavaScript "debugger" command; done should mean an external debugger such as VSCode can attach, pause script execution, and continue step by step.
