There is a very useful tool built in chrome dev tool, that I have just discovered. I even don't know its name, and I am not able to find it on google. I would say it is a pixel inspector tool.
I find the following method how to use it:
1a. Inspect an html element with background color.
1b. Define background color of an element.
Click on the color picker.
Move your mouse over any element on the page (not on the dev tool)
See: http://skalar.darkware.hu/skalkaz/Chrome-Colorpicker.gif
My questions:
What is this tool name?
How to use it easily? Most of the time I don't care the color, but I want to inspect the pixels of an icon.
Is there a hotkey of this tool?
To open the Eye Dropper simply:
Open DevTools F12
Go to Elements tab
Under Styles side bar click on any color preview box
Its main functionality is to inspect pixel color values by clicking them though with its new features you can also see your page's existing colors palette or material design palette by clicking on the two arrows icon at the bottom. It can get quite handy when designing your page.
It is just called the eyedropper tool. There is no shortcut key for it that I'm aware of. The only way you can use it now is by clicking on the color picker box in styles sidebar and then clicking on the page as you have already been doing.
Currently, the eyedropper tool is not working in my version of Chrome (as described above), though it worked for me in the past. I hear it is being updated in the latest version of Chrome.
However, I'm able to grab colors easily in Firefox.
Open page in Firefox
Hamburger Menu -> Web Developer -> Eyedropper
Drag eyedropper tool over the image... Click.
Color is copied to your clipboard, and eyedropper tool goes away.
Paste color code
In case you cannot get the eyedropper tool to work in Chrome, this is a good work around.
I also find it easier to access :-)

I want to remove this suggestion in VS Code which comes on hover, as it disrupts my scrolling.
That area of the UI is called the explorer. What you're seeing is generally called a "tooltip" in UI terminology. Looking through the available settings at the time of this writing, I do not see a setting to disable tooltips for the explorer listitems.
I looked through settings containing "tooltip" and ones starting with explorer. and workbench.list. and didn't find such a configuration point.
If you open the developer tools with the Developer: Toggle Developer Tools command, you'll see that that particular tooltip is just implmeneted with the HTML title attribute. The way that it is rendered is up to the browser, which in this case is chromium, and the particular style it appears in differs by platform / OS.
You might be able to write an extension that removes those title attributes.
I'm learning to debug grid layout. Here is the article about it: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/css/grid
Here what says Chrome DevTools guide.
The issues comes on the very first stage - I cannot find grid badge on my Elements panel in DevTools.
I've already checked on Windows and MacOS, I seems like it's not connected to OS.
Does anybody know how to turn it on?
Maybe I need to change my browser settings?
I had the same problem and fixed it by chance by doing this:
Open DevTools settings
On Preferences go to the Elements section
I had all selected, except Show rulers and Show agent shadow DOM so I selected them too.
It worked! The Grid label started to appear on grid elements and could on Elements
The thing is that I deselected again Show rulers and Show agent shadow DOM to discard which of them was the one that activated the Grid label but then the Grid label didn't disappear. That's why I said I fixed it by chance.
I might be a bit dumb or something, but I just can't find the background image of the site:
http://www.deineschatzkammer.com
Can anyone find it or tell me how to find it easily? I have searched now with the Chrome DevTools and Firebug and searched the code for GIFs, JPGs and PNGs... :(
It is very easy to find the background image. Here are three solutions how to find it using Firebug (it works similar in the Chrome and Firefox DevTools):
Via the CSS panel
Switch to the CSS panel.
Type jpg into the search field.
Hover the matched url(...) to see a preview of the image.
If it's not the right one, hit Enter and repeat step 3.
Via the HTML panel
Right-click the background image and choose Inspect Element with Firebug from the context menu to see the element within the HTML panel.
Switch to the Style side panel.
Check whether one of the rules contains a background-image property.
If there isn't a background-image property containing the related image, this means the element containing the image is overlayed by the one you just inspected. So delete the element by pressing Del on the selected element or right-clicking it and choosing Delete Element from the context menu. Then repeat step 3.
Via the Net panel
Enable and switch to the Net panel.
Reload the page.
Click on the Images filter.
Hover over each listed image to find the one you're searching for.
On the Elements tab 'Find' functionality (cmd+F/ctrl+F) doesn't search through styles pane. Is there a way to type CSS property with HTML element selected and find it quickly in the Styles panel?
Bottom right corner, light gray text says "Find in styles". Click there and enter your search.
Unfortunately, such functionality does not exist in current Chrome Dev Tools.
But its present in Opera Dragonfly and its very handy, so, probably Chrome will copy it, eventually (but no such feature request exists in bug tracker now).
On the latest Chrome on Mac, I'm getting the filter at the top of the styles pane. I can't believe that I never noticed it given that I've needed it so many times!
Try using CTRL+Shif+F on the Elements tab
I was wondering if there is a option or plugin, which allows us on hover to preview either a CSS color or image, something like this:
And also if you hover over an img src - preview the img... ?
Try "Quick Color Picker for Notepad++". You double-click on the hex color and a color-picker pops up as well as a preview. Another cool thing is that it provides a few more colors that match the "theme" if you will.
Here is the link Quick Color Picker
SIDE NOTE: There used to be a feature or plugin, until very recently, that actually highlighted the text of the hex code with its color. It came out of nowhere after an N++ update and then it disappeared after another one. Can't figure out how to enable it again.
HTML color is the closest thing I have seen when it comes to color preview. With it installed you select the color code and click a button to show the preview. From the preview you can change the color by a few clicks. It can also be used to insert new color codes.
Image preview I have never seen.
