Microsoft Edge DevTools
Just likeGoogle Chrome, Microsoft Edge is now based onChromiumand when it comes to accessing developer tools, both browsers offer similar functionality. While the keyboard shortcut CTRL+Shift+C is used to access Chrome’s Developer Tools menu, in Edge you simply need to press F12 to access the browser’s DevTools menu.
In a newblog post, program manager at Microsoft Rachel Simone Weil provided further insight on howJavascriptdevelopers can use the Console tool built into Microsoft Edge DevTools, saying:
“In the Microsoft Edge DevTools, the Console tool has two main functions. The first is outputting messages and errors logged from a website’s Javascript. For example, if your website code has a line of Javascript that reads console.log(My code is running!);, you would expect to get the following output in the Console tab of DevTools. Console output: “My code is running!” Console’s second function is serving as a Javascript REPL, meaning you can write and run lines of Javascript directly in the tab.”
The latest Microsoft Edge Dev build is now rolling out to users on the Dev channel and within the DevTools menu, they’ll be able to easily customize the browser’s keyboard shortcuts. To do so, you’ll need to open DevTools and navigate to Settings at the top left of the window.
