How to set default tab when dev tools is opened

[Chris Koerner]

Whenever I open devtools it always selects/displays the [ELEMENTS] tab. I want the default to be the [CONSOLE] tab, but can't find anyway to make this happen. I've tried moving the tab to be the first tab, hunting all through the settings... no luck.

Is it possible?

Thanks!

I guess what I'm really requesting, is to make a way to set the default action for the right-click mouse action of 'inspect' to default to the console tab. I know that CMD-OPT-J can do it, but just asking if it was possible, maybe through a chrome extension even?

I am pretty sure you cannot change the default.

Generally, for feature requests, you can search crbug.com for an existing issue for this feature request and star it. If you cannot find one, you can use the "New issue" link at crbug.com to file a new one.

(If you do find one, do not add comments like "+1" or "me, too", it only hinders the development and it does not make the engineers implement the feature more quickly.)
