  • {ref}Change the keyboard bindings <settings-editor-preferences> to Vim, Emacs or Sublime Text if you're used to different shortcuts.
  • Check or uncheck the different tools to enable or disable them. (There are more than the default tools!)

Page Inspector

In the {ref}markup view <page-inspector-ui-tour-html-pane>:

  • Press {kbd}H with a node selected to hide/show it.
  • Press {kbd}Backspace or {kbd}Del with a node selected to delete it.
  • {kbd}Alt + click on a node to expand or collapse it and all its descendants.
  • Click on the last {ref}breadcrumb button <page-inspector-how-to-examine-and-edit-html-breadcrumbs> to scroll the selection into view in the inspector.
  • Click the "ev" icon besides a node to {doc}see all event listeners attached to it <../page_inspector/examine_event_listeners/index>.
  • Press {kbd}S with a node selected to see it in the page (same as right-click a node and click {ref}Scroll Into View <page-inspector-how-to-examine-and-edit-scroll-into-view>).
  • Right-click a node and click {ref}Use in Console <page-inspector-how-to-examine-and-edit-html-use-in-console> to {doc}command line <../web_console/the_command_line_interpreter/index> as tempN variable.

When {ref}selecting elements <page-inspector-select-element-button>:

  • {kbd}Shift + click to select an element but keep selecting (picker mode doesn't disengage).
  • Use {kbd}/{kbd} to navigate to parents/children elements (if they're hard to select).

In the {ref}rules view <page-inspector-ui-tour-rules-view>:

  • Click the inspector icon {{ image2 }} next to any selector to highlight all elements that match it.
  • Click the inspector icon {{ image2 }} next to the element{} rule to lock the highlighter on the current element.

Web Console

In all panels:

  • {kbd}Esc opens the {doc}split console <../web_console/split_console/index>; useful when debugging, or inspecting nodes

In the {doc}command line <../web_console/the_command_line_interpreter/index>:

  • {ref}$0 <web_console_helpers_$0> references the currently selected node.
  • {ref}$() <web_console_helpers_$> is a shortcut to document.querySelector()
  • {ref}$$() <web_console_helpers_$$> returns an array with the results from document.querySelectorAll().
  • {ref}$$$() <web_console_helpers_$$$> returns an array of all the elements matching the selector, even when they are in the shadow DOM.
  • {ref}copy <web-console-helpers-copy> copies anything as a string.
  • Right-click a node in the Inspector and click {ref}Use in Console <page-inspector-how-to-examine-and-edit-html-use-in-console> to create a {ref}temp*N* <web-console-helpers-tempn> variable for it.
  • console.table() displays tabular data as table.
  • {ref}help <web-console-helpers-help> opens the MDN page describing the available commands.
  • :screenshot <filename.png> --fullpage saves a screenshot to your downloads directory using the optional file name. If no filename is included, the file name will be in this format:
Screen Shot date at time.png

The --fullpage parameter is optional. If you include it, the screenshot will be of the whole page, not just the section visible in the browser windows. The file name will have -fullpage appended to it as well. See {doc}Web Console Helpers <../web_console/helpers/index> for all parameters.

  • Check {ref}"enable persistent logs" <settings-common-preferences> in the settings to keep requests from before even after navigation.
  • Hover the {ref}"js" icon within the "Cause" column <request-list-requst-list-cause-column> to see the JavaScript stack trace, which caused the request.
