Is there a command line argument in Chrome to start the developer tools on startup without haveing to press Ctrl+Shift+J every time?
# Auto-open DevTools on every new tabOpen Chrome from the Command line and pass the --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs flag. This will only work if an instance of Chrome is not already running. From then on, every new tab will automatically open DevTools until the user fully quits Chrome.
In Chrome, pressing the F12 key or Ctrl + Shift + I (or Command + option + I on a Mac) also brings up the interactive developer tools.
To open the developer console in Google Chrome, open the Chrome Menu in the upper-right-hand corner of the browser window and select More Tools > Developer Tools. You can also use Option + ⌘ + J (on macOS), or Shift + CTRL + J (on Windows/Linux).
On Chrome Windows Press F12 key. Use “Control + Alt + I” keyboard shortcut keys. Right click on any area and choose “Inspect Element”. Go to three dots button menu and navigate to “More tools > Developer Tools”.
I think
--auto-open-devtools-for-tabs
does the trick. It seems to be working only if an instance of Chrome is not already running however.
