Extension to highlight console.log lines then allow delete? (self.vscode)

There are a number VS Code extensions that can be used to delete all console lines in an open file. But is there an extension that will highlight all console.log lines as a check before deleting?

Yes I know that one can select "console.log" then use the Command-F2 key combination to select all occurences in the file. Assuming I want to delete them all, I could then use one of the above-mentioned extensions. 'Am hoping to find an extension that will do both.

VSCode supports regex in find and replace (select the star icon when you open find)

Then using this regex pattern will find all occurrences of

 console.log(anything);

Pattern

 console\.log\(.+\);

You can then just do a replace with nothing, and it’ll remove them all. Not exactly what you wanted (an extension) but this works with a clean vscode install out of the box
