Possible to add Chrome DevTools

[dolfies]

Hello, is there a possibility of allowing the use of the Chrome DevTools? Currently CTRL + SHIFT + I does nothing.

EDIT: I've been doing some research, and I might open a pull request later if I find a way.

Hi @dolfies,
This is a great suggestion. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be possible for a Chrome extension to open the Developer Tools at this time, according to multiple sources:

I would recommend simply using a built in feature baked into Chrome which supports this functionality.

There is a new feature in Google Chrome called Application Shortcuts. It basically makes it possible to convert any web page (or web app) into a desktop app by clicking the hamburger icon in the top right -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut and ticking "Open as window". Please give it a try and let me know if indeed it resolves your issue.
