05 Jun 08 Chrome Keyboard Shortcuts for Chrome Developers

Here’s a couple keyboard shortcuts for helping you to work faster on the Chrome browser:
(I personally find that these shortcuts are great for Chrome developers)

• JavaScript debugger: Alt+`, or select “Page (icon)|Developer|Debug JavaScript”
• JavaScript console: “Page (icon)|Developer|JavaScript console”, or use the Show Console icon at the bottom left of the Element inspector
• Element inspector: Right-click on the page, and select “Inspect Element”. You’ll have to navigate the tree control in the left-hand pane, but you should eventually be able to find the part of the page you’re seeking by watching what gets colored on the page as you hover in the DOM tree.
• Memory tracker: Shift-Esc or “Page (icon)|Developer|Task manager” gets you the dynamic memory, CPU, and Network usage of all currently running Chrome components. Clicking on Stats for Nerds at the bottom left of the Task Manager or browsing to about:memory gets you a snapshot of the memory details of all running Chrome, IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari instances.
• Create a shortcut: Ctrl-D (like Firefox) or click on the star icon to the left of the address bar
• Rearrange tabs: just drag them where you want them to go
• Add a Home button: “Wrench (icon)|Options|Basics|Home page|Show Home button on the toolbar”
