You may have to use fnF12 if you have unselected the option `Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys' on Keyboard tab.

    In the OS X version of Google Chrome the Developer Console uses this stupid key combination of Alt+Cmd+I instead of F12, which is the de-facto standard key used in pretty much any other browser:

    • Firefox Mac uses F12
    • Chrome Windows uses F12
    • Internet Explorer uses F12
    • Opera also uses F12

    So, how can I remap it only for Chrome? (Firefox Mac already uses F12)

    BTW, which is the key for Safari? The documentation at Apple's website says it's also Alt+Cmd+I but it doesn't work for me: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Safari_Developer_Guide/KeyboardShortcuts/KeyboardShortcuts.html

    Thank you!

    Ok, I get it now. Since my OS is not in English, I had to type it exactly in my language as it was written in the menu. Thanks!
