Steps to reproduce:

In Watch Expressions the input field placeholder is "Add watch expression". A better value seems to be "Add expression".

Hello, I wanted to take this one.
But then I looked at Chromium. They don't have a placeholder in the Watch section, but they have an empty state placeholder saying: "No watch expressions".
In FF docs it's also said: "To remove a watch expression, select the X button that appears when you hover over a line."
From these facts, I got the feeling that "watch expression", though sounds weird to me looks like a term, or just that no one cares much about naming.
I checked the issue linked, there is not much context about the renaming itself.

So there are two ways:

  1. Leave everything as is and close the issue
  2. Rename the placeholder to "Add expression", check for other places where "watch expression" is used, and consider changing it to "expression" too.

I've attempted a patch on this. Is there anyone who can walk me through the review and submittal process?
Thanks,

Hello! I'd like to take over applying the review suggestions mentioned here https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D197316, since it's been 2 months and they are trivial

I believe i need to commandeer the revision, but i don't have that action available to me, i need some guidance

Sure, thanks for offering help

I think it might be better for you to create a brand new revision on phabricator singe pgiovanni1234 is not responding and the patch needed some updates. https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D197316 is also very small, so I think it's okay if you "steal" it and move it to the finish line.
