DevTools settings let you control the behavior of both individual panels and DevTools in general.

TheSettings panel has several tabs described in the following sections:

• Preferences
• Workspace
• AI innovations
• Experiments
• Ignore List
• Devices
• Throttling
• Locations
• Shortcuts

Open Settings

To openSettings:

1. Open DevTools on any page.

2. Click theSettings button in the action bar at the top.

   

   Key point: Be careful not to confuse general DevTools settings with panel settings. DevTools settings are on the topmost action bar.

3. Alternatively, when focused in DevTools, press:

   • ?
   • F1 on Windows or Linux
   • Fn +F1 on Mac

TheSettings panel opens.

Use the Command Menu to access settings faster

TheCommand Menu is a faster alternative to accessing many of the settings. In particular, if you remember the name of the settings or even its value but don't remember where the setting is.

To quickly change a setting:

1. Open the Command Menu.
2. Start typing the setting's name or its value, select a suggested option, and pressEnter.

For example, to set the DevTools UI language to Chinese, typeChinese and select an option.

These commands directly set the value ofSettings >Preferences >Appearance > Language.
