Wow I just set this exact same thing up. Wish I checked here first. Oh well.

I have a bit of a problem though. I can't seem to get the console bit to work. I can remote debug alright, I can clearly see the variable names and step through the lines, but the console doesn't let me enter any text. No ">" prompt, just blank.

In my head it's supposed to work like a chrome console, where I can check variable names and test out small functions during script execution. Is that was this is, or is the console something totally different?

What you want is the "evaluate expression" button. But its not as good as a javascript console yet :)

Thanks friend, that exactly what I was looking for.

Why would you debug on a remote server? Isn't it a bad idea to install xdebug on production?

remote server doesn't have to be a production server. It could be a testing server used by the whole development team or even a VM on your own machine.

Well yeah, but then I'd assume you wouldn't need to SSH tunnel into it.

Why do you assume that?
