I actually prefer the Firefox dev tools these days. One thing that I really like is the edit and resend functionality[0]. Quite useful when quickly testing API calls. I know you can use other tools in Chrome to do the same, but I like that it’s built in. Good to see improvements in the Chrome dev tools nonetheless!<p>[0] <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor#Edit_and_Resend" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monit...</a>
Cool but I really wish they'd add more keyboard shortcuts. Like ability to use arrows and keyboard to select a network request and replay it. Or to drill down a deeply nested json without having to make a series of precise mouse clicks
They still haven't reverted the dropdown filtering UI for the console, the old style quick access toolbar, like the network panel. It used to be really useful, yet since the change, I barely use it anymore.<p>There's a long thread about it here, but the chrome developers haven't really engaged with the community feedback<p><a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-chrome-developer-tools/kH3FiDLlsFg%5B26-50%5D" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-chrome-develo...</a><p>The dev tools console has also become a dumping ground for repeated browser warnings and the option to turn them off isn't even persistent.
Hey fellow HN'ers, I recently discovered you can select source in this (windows) terminal-like fashion by holding alt (i.e. <a href="https://imgur.com/a/XnCSd" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/XnCSd</a>).<p>Does anyone know what is the purpose of this feature? I always disliked how difficult is to select something on windows cmd, this seems like anti-feature for me, but obviously I am missing something.
I continuously struggle with debugging aspx with embedded JavaScript. Breakpoints can't be set on any line and I still haven't figured out the logic why and when stepping through the highlighted line is never the one that is actually running. Even after expanding the code with the { } button. It's just simple JS so no code maps should be needed.
Starting to think maybe it would be good to have a "DevTools" lite, now that there are literally dozens of tabs and pages. Is there a shortcut to just bring up the console?
CMD+Shift+4 has always allowed you to take screenshots of any parts of your screen, (including your devtools), so curious why this is a feature in Chrome? Unless it's meant for Windows maybe where it's harder to take screenshots?
