Opening devtools is easy enough, but what if i'm lost in a sea of chrome windows and tabs? Is it possible to bring the attached chrome window/tab on to the screen from the Devtools window?

-note this only makes sense if you have devtools running on a separate window-

• Interesting question, but I don't think it's possible! I tried window.focus() and window.open('#foobar', '_self') but neither of those work. You can submit a feature request on crbug. – Kayce Basques Commented May 4, 2017 at 18:24
• Thanks, I will do some more digging before opening an issue though, they seem to have their hands full. – Carlos Valencia Commented May 4, 2017 at 19:51

This one was bugging me. I knew there had to be some hack to make this possible. Of course, the solution is one of the first friends that we meet in JavaScript land.

Open up the DevTools Console and type:

alert('show me');

Another workflow mentioned by @morgunkorn on Twitter is to press Command+Shift+D (use Control instead of Command on Windows / Linux) to dock the DevTools window, which brings the tab to focus, and then press that bo again to return DevTools to its undocked setup.

You could use this tiny Chrome extension. This allows you to set a particular tab using the keyboard mand Alt + S. You can switch back to that set tab anytime using the keyboard mand AlT + G, even from the undocked devtool window.

There now is a mand called "Focus debuggee", that is also listed under the 3-dots settings drop-menu in top right corner. Another bonus is you can add a keyboard shortcut for it, if you find yourself losing the tab a lot like I do!
