I'm using the Firebug Lite addon in Chrome. It starts with pressing F12.

But when I press F12, the Developer Tools bar is also being shown! It is a bit similar to Firebug Lite, so I only need one at the time.

Can those shortcut keys be changed somewhere?

UPDATE: After upgrading Chrome this behaviour seems fixed! Guess it was just a strange bug...

Are you sure you're on Chrome? Developer Tools launches on Ctrl+Shift+J in Chrome. – digitxp Aug 13 '11 at 15:39

Yeah I'm sure :) Maybe Firebug Lite did that? CTRL+SHIFT+J still works too.... – Dylan Aug 13 '11 at 21:10

As far as I know, Google Chrome limits their preferences for simplicity's sake so the only thing that may work would be the --disable-dev-tools switch, which seems to work in varying levels of success, however.

That is normal.

Chrome does not open the Developer Tools pane with F12; that is Firebug’s doing.

Firebug lite is not Firebug, it is a lite version that requires the Developer Tools for full functionality. Per Firebug’s homepage:

Firebug Lite for Google Chrome is not a substitute for Firebug, or Chrome Developer Tools. It is a tool to be used in conjunction with these tools.
