Is there a shortcut to CLOSE Chrome's developer tool?
Solution 1
DOCKED Developer tools!
Open/close developer tool (re-open last tab (start with 'Elements'):
- WIN:
CTRL
+SHIFT
+I
- MAC OS:
CMD
+ALT
+I
Open/close developer tool (console tab)
- WIN:
CTRL
+SHIFT
+J
- MAC OS:
CMD
+SHIFT
+J
F12
= open/close developer tool (re-open last tab (start with 'Elements')
UNDOCKED Developer tools -> Same as above but the first two create multiple tabs where F12 should close the tab :)
If you need any other shortcut of chrome please try the website given below, but I am not sure if everything is on it... The
CTRL + SHIFT + I
is not even on it (when writing this)...Website: 'https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?hl=en'
Solution 2
If the DevTools window is docked, F12 or CtrlShiftI will close the window.
If the DevTools window is undocked in a separate window, CtrlW will close it if it is the active window.
You can use CtrlShiftD to toggle between a docked and undocked DevTools window.
So if the window is undocked, you can quickly press CtrlShiftD,I to close it.
Solution 3
For Mac OS it's cmd + alt(option) + j
. This will toggle the developer tool. One can also use cmd + shift + c
for inspect element.
Solution 4
MAC OS:
Cmd + Alt(option) + i
- works to open/hide an inspector
ps please check accepted question. I updated it with full detils.
Solution 5

It includes the much-needed
Close the active tab: Alt+W
