How can I change the docking of devtools in VS Code?

VS Code was docking devtools pane within the window before. Now, It opens a new window that increases back and forth. Is there any way to dock it back? I tried a few settings they did not work. Also, there is no dock icon as in Chrome.
This started with vscode v1.74 and is an electron bug. See The developer tools become a floating window.
There is a fix reported there. Disable the setting
Windows > Experimental > Windows Control Overlay: Enabled
You will be prompted to restart vscode and then opening the Dev Tools will be docked as before. Apparently, the Electron bug has been fixed.
In the devtools panel, click the vertically-aligned three dots at the top right. That will open up a context menu. You will see a "Dock side" entry with different icons signifying option values for that setting. You probably accidentally clicked the one that makes it pop the devtools out into its own window. Select whichever option you actually want there.

Is there a way to open Chrome Dev tools to a new window right away?

Anyone know of a way to open Chrome Dev tools to a new window upon open?
I know that I can click F12 and then click the 'customize' button and change orientation or pop out the dev tools window. But that's an extra step, and often a window resize is necessary, and when you do it 50 times a day, it gets to be tedious.
Also, sometimes, on pages I'm testing, pressing F12 will change the layout of the elements on the page and even popping out the dev tools leaves the page layout different than before I opened dev tools. This can make it hard to tell if an element is visible or not, which makes troubleshooting Webdriver more difficult.
Ideally, CTRL+F12 or something to open dev tools as a separate window would be super handy. (to any Chromium devs that might be listening ;) But if anyone has another solution, I'd love to hear it.
If you have your DevTools un-docked, the dock mode, size and position of your DevTools window will remain the same as you previously set it. For example, I just set mine to be maximised on my other monitor. Every time I open up DevTools, it's an un-docked, maximised window, and there's no change to the layout of the inspected window other than the fact it's no longer in focus.
You could alternatively launch Chrome using the --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs flag, which will automatically open DevTools in the dock mode, size and position you had it previously. You can use:
Mac:/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs
Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs
In WebDriver, you can set flags for how Chrome opens. However, after looking into this further, it turns out Chrome currently do not support multiple clients connected to the protocol simultaneously.
As for speeding things up, you can switch between dock positions with Cmd+Shift+D (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+D (Windows). This toggles between the last two modes you have used, so say you have it docked at the bottom, you then pop it out, using the shortcut now will toggle between the two.
Here's how you do it. On opening the developer tools, with the developer tools window in focus, press F1. This will open a settings page. Check the "Auto-open DevTools for popups".

Open Chrome Developer Tools tabs in a new window to show on multiple monitors

Is there a way where one can open a specific tab of the Chrome Developer Tools in a separate window? I have got 3 monitors and would like to have the Sources tab on one screen and the Elements on another screen. Is this possible?
I find this limitation frustrating too, all those other monitors are wasted! Here is poor man's solution:
launch your chrome with --remote-debugging-port=9999 command line parameter
right click on your page to debug and select 'Inspect Element' - this is your debug window #1
open a separate chrome window and navigate to chrome://inspect
click 'Configure...' and add localhost:9999
within a couple of seconds under 'Remote Targets' you should see tabs you can inspect from your other chrome instance
click on the tab, and now this is your debug window #2

open chrome developer tools inside popup

Is it possible to open the developer tools inside(attached to) a popup and not detached? I'm currently working a site with popups and need to bebug javascript and find it quite annoying to toggle between the popup and the developer tools window.
When debugging popup windows you can convert them to tabs. You can do this by right-clicking the title icon and selecting the show as tab option. Then you can open the developer console as usual.
There is a tiny button waaay down to the left of the developer tools (in the row where Inspect Element and clear console log are), it looks kinda like two rectangles overlapping... The tooltip should read "Undock into separate window"...
Is that what you meant?
-Edit- Just reread the question better... I guess that is not what you meant... :)
Open Chrome Dev Tools (Cmd + Option + I)
Open the Console tab
Paste the following, the hit enter:
setTimeout(function(){debugger;}, 5000)
Navigate to your popup and wait- in 5 seconds, the debugger will pause the page, and you can see your code!
Enjoy your debugging! 🐛
Reference from Mitch Winkel-Davis
Please press and hold the tiny button for seconds.
After that, you will find the another icon (or button) at the same location.
Please release your mouse button.
You can see a popup window of developer tools.
Just press ⌥ + cmd + I when the pop up window is in focus and dev tools will open in a new pop up window
