DevTools docking #1801

Open vorg opened 10 years ago

vorg commented 10 years ago

Why it's not possible to dock DevTools? They always open in new window.

In Chrome there is a button to dock them at the bottom of the browser window http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10023640/how-to-reposition-chrome-developer-tools/13214056#13214056

This was already mentioned in #1158 which was closed with no reason...

It's hard to debug at small screen with split DevTools. Is there a way to embed DevTools to main window, just like Chrome and Atom do.

felicienfrancois commented 9 years ago

Yes there is a way. You can embed dev tools in a iframe using Headless devtools

Note: Headless devtools is not yet working in 0.12.0 branch (currently alpha2) #2976

@felicienfrancois I tried it, but failed. Anyway, embed the devTools into an iframe in your page is too ugly!

If you're on a mac you can go full screen and then have them "docked" side by side. Not great but it's better than an iFrame. I'm sure you can do this on windows somehow too.
