I want to know if there is a shortcut for opening the Network tab in dev tools in Chrome. I know there is a shortcut for opening dev tools and the Console tab, but not for opening the Network tab.

Thanks!

    I thought if you press f12 and select network tab and close, the next time you press f12 it opens there by default. I also drag network tab to the far most left tab too so maybe that is why I see that always open network tab when I press f12. From there you can press ctrl+r to record network too.

    Yes, but if I had any other tab open before and reopen the dev tools window I want to be able to open it with the Network tab shown directly with a shortcut.

  • The Chrome DevTools docs only mention shortcuts for opening the last pane, the console, or the elements view. There's probably not a shortcut for network. The closest thing would be enabling the ctrl+# shortcuts to switch panes, or pressing ctrl+shift+p in the dev tools and typing "Network".

  • @LayneBernardo the ctrl+shift+p shortcut is really handy. Will use that. Thanks!

In Windows:

1.

1.1) go to DevTools: F12

1.2) open the Command Menu: Ctrl+Shift+P

1.3) type: network, press Enter key

2.

2.1 If the Network was the panel you used last, then use Ctrl+Shift+I

    This is very useful. It can be used to access any tab by only using the keyboard.

    Pretty much the same for Mac, most Mac keyboards have F12 as the volume up control though, so typically it's going to be Fn+F12, or you can also Cmd+Opt+J. Then to open the command menu, it's Cmd+Shift+P. I typically just use the Opt+Cmd+I shortcut to open the last tab I used in developer tools, usually Network. Jan 31, 2022 at 23:28

For Mac you can use this :

Option + ⌘ + I

    This is a useful shortcut. It doesn't necessarily open the Network tab, it opens the last used tab. So it doesn't exactly answer the question, but I mostly use the Network tab so it works well enough for me. Thanks. Jan 31, 2022 at 23:24
  • The letter is i, not the L lowercase.
