How can I get Chrome to launch and close “developer tools” on Mac (like Firefug with F12 & ctrl+shift+c))

Question

How can I get Chrome to launch and close "developer tools" on Mac (like Firefug with F12 & ctrl+shift+c)). It was so convenient in Firefox/Firebug to just hit F12 followed by "toggle inspect mode" (ctrl+shift+c) and then hover my mouse over the different elements. I would love it if anyone else used to have this workflow.

Answer 1

For those that are still looking for ways to access Chrome's Developer Tools:

To access the developer tools, open a web page or web app in Google Chrome. Then take one of the following actions:

• Select the Wrench menu at the top-right of your browser window, then select Tools -> Developer tools.
• Right-click on any page element and select Inspect element.
• On Windows and Linux, press
  • Control - Shift - I keys to open Developer Tools
  • Control - Shift - J to open Developer Tools and bring focus to the Console.
  • Control - Shift - C to toggle Inspect Element mode.
• On Mac, press
  • ⌥⌘I (Command - Option - I) keys to open Developer Tools
  • ⌥⌘J (Command - Option - J) to open Developer Tools and bring focus to the Console.
  • ^⌘C (Control - Option - C) to toggle Inspect Element mode.

Answer 2

ctrl + shift + i

opens developer tools. I don't think you can toggle "inspect mode" (I found this looking for that)
