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 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.
Is there any way to print search results (Ctrl+Shift+F) to horizontal panel?
Current vertical view is really inconvenient for me as I see only small part of line. Thanks
Update: see Visual studio code - how to copy search results? The new search editor makes seeing and copying the results much more user-friendly.
And now you can just drag the Search view into the Panel.
v1.21 has helped this problem. See Horizontal panel search
// Preview: controls if the search will be shown as a view in the
sidebar or as a panel in the panel area for more horizontal space.
Next release search in panel will have improved horizontal layout and
this will no longer be a preview.
"search.location": "panel",
I don't think you can print those results yet but at least the view is much improved. I don't think you meant actually "print" but nevertheless...
EDIT: Functionality added after the original answer:::
You can now right-click anywhere in the search results and select "Copy All" to get all the search results into the clipboard. That context menu has some other options as well.
As of May 2020, the accepted answer is marked by VSCode as a deprecated setting, and no longer works.
Instead, use the Command Palette to find for "Open New Search Editor" to get a full-screen search experience. This option is not bound to a keyboard shortcut by default, and you'll have to do that separately (would be nice to have it as the default, IMO).
Recently, I have noticed that Google Chrome's JavaScript console autocompletes previously inputted commands. For example:
I want to remove this feature because the autocomplete displays variables that may not exist. Is there a way to remove this feature?
Yes. A lot of people found it annoying, so they added a setting to disable it.
First, enter the DevTools settings from the menu button in the top right corner.
Then, in the "General" section, disable "Autocomplete from history".
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 am trying to inspect the div element that appears for Tipsy hover-overs on this page in order to change the width of the popup.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1531353/Misc/Docudocker/setups/tipsyCrashingApplication/force-html.html
However, when I press Shift+Ctrl+C, and then move my mouse to the Developer Elements panel, the Tipsy hover-over disappears, so I can't examine it any more.
How do I examine an element that only appears upon a hover-over effect in Chrome Web Developer?
I am using Win 7. I used firebug & it showed that tooltips were using the tipsy.css try to navigate to your tipsy css & change the width attrib though i couldnt get the bottom part of the tooltip in right shape. Hope it helps
