How do I set the default position for chrome developer tools in incognito

When I open an new incognito window and open the developer tools its always docked to the bottom :S

Is there any way I can set the default dock to the right? Or is there some hotkey I can use to change the dock position?

The chromium ticket today was marked as won't fix https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=376788

So it is very unlikely we will get this behavior. Personally I hate the default behavior being dock to right.

The original argument for it being changed to dock to right was because lots of people were upvoting these questions about how to dock it to right.

  • Chrome >=24 - how to dock devtools to the right?
  • How to reposition chrome developer tools

Maybe if we get enough people to upvote how to make it go back to the bottom they will change it back :)

EDIT: On second thought it looks like it is now picking up some traction, and they are working on implementing this. See comment https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=376788#c45

EDIT #2: Chrome 44 was just released and now the position is carried over when you open a new incognito window
