I seem to be almost entirely mouse-free at this point, minus being able to access the Bookmarks bar in Chrome with a keyboard shortcut! I've searched the web quite a bit for an answer, but to no avail....any ideas or workaround?
EDIT: Use Firefox. You can CMD + B --> will open Bookmarks navigator, and you can type to search, hit TAB, and then arrow through results
If you are hoping to click on the actual bookmarks on your Google Chrome browser, using keyboard shortcuts, on Mac, you can make use of Mac's Keyboard shortcuts feature.
Open System settings app
Open Shortcuts section under Keyboard
Choose App shortcuts
Click +
Choose Google Chrome as application
On the title field, enter Bookmarks->{Bookmark-name-goes-here}
Set a hotkey
Save the changes and you can now use this hotkey to call that bookmark. This basically is setting a shortcut to your browser's menu item.
Holmes is an extension that allows a shortcut activated bookmark search similar to Garrett's answer but without the "read and change all the data on any websites that you visit" permission.
Install the tool then press shift+alt+H
⌘ + Option + b
or
⌘ + Shift + b
Try this shortcut
cmd+opt+B
I found a chrome plugin that is super useful and goes beyond what I was hoping for. It's called Bookmark Navigator. Here is the link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmark-navigator/bfibpphfhdpgkmbpkfmhdiklgcfmmkha
Below is a picture of what it looks like. The tool is summoned with cmd + b, and then you can start typing to search all of your bookmarks. You can press enter to access the bookmark at top of list, or use arrow keys to navigate further down the list.
This is the fastest and most user friendly option I have found.

I'm trying to write an AHK bot that fills in input boxes in a Webapp so I need to be able to open the Developer Tools > Console with a simple shortcut.
The shortcut that says it should open Console doesn't do anything(CTRL + Shift + J). However if I use the Right Shift + Right Control + J it does open the Elements tab, but that's not what I meant to open, the Console tab inside Chrome Dev Tools.
https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/shortcuts
Any tips?
My keyboard layout is Icelandic. Need the bot to be able to launch in that layout and any other layout for that matter.
Thanks.
Solved by pressing F12 then the ESC (escape) key, that brings up the Console.
Not sure why the Chrome developer blog doesn't list the right shortcut though.
Even for me Command+Option+J is not working.
F12 is equivalent to Command+Option+I Open whatever panel you used last
No, Shift+CTRL+J takes an instant GIF of me struggling to open the javascript console.
I am unable to find the shortcut key for this button. And as I do not know the name of this button I cannot search for it.
There is no shortcut by default, but you can go to Settings and type "tool buttons" into the search bar. Then you can assign a keystroke to "Tool Buttons" feature.
Here is your answer from official docs
Hiding all tool windows attached to the same tool window bar
Do one of the following:
Press and hold the Alt (for Windows and Linux users) or ⌘ (for macOS users) key, and click hide on the title bar of any of the tool
windows attached to the corresponding tool window bar.
Choose Window | Active Tool Window | Hide Side Tool Windows in the main menu. This command hides all the tool windows attached to same
tool window bar as the active tool window or the last of the active
tool windows.
I find that double tapping Alt key does the trick for me.
Maybe is Ctrl+Tab
Check this. In the link you can read :
Switch between the tool windows and files opened in the
editor. Ctrl+Tab
I often search for a particular word on a webpage using Google Chrome. On my Mac, I do Command + F to bring search on a page window. To go to the next occurrence of the word I use the up or down arrows. Are there keyboard shortcuts for using these arrows?
Yes, you can use the keyboard to move to the next and previous search result:
Next: Cmd+G or simply Enter
Previous: Cmd+Shift+G or Shift+Enter
For Windows users, replace Cmd with Ctrl

I started to use Chrome workspaces which is an awesome feature. Unfortunately the "toggle comment" shortcut (http://anti-code.com/devtools-cheatsheet/) "Cmd+/" is not working. When I press "Cmd+7" nothing happens or if the "switch panels" is on, then the panels switch. When pressing "Cmd + shift + 7" the help menu shows up from the top bar. How can I fix this. I really need this toggle comment shortcut.
There is a bug with some shortcuts that require to press a modifier key on non-english keyboard. I reported the issue here.
Workaround for Windows/Linux :
If you are using a german keyboard layout, pressing Ctrl + * should do the trick in the meantime. Make sure you use the * that is not on the numerical keyboard.
Workaround for Mac OS :
Use a keyboard layout editor, for example Ukelele, so as you can output a / without having to press Shift or any other modifier key.
I just checked that the shortcuts you are trying to use do actually work. I wrote the cheatsheet btw. The shortcuts work when you are using Chrome Canary, and you have to set up a workspace to work on the code that way. Also, Cmd+7 for me jumps to the 7th tab in my DevTools. Perhaps you have some other program overriding the shortcut key for that.

There's also a more comprehensive list of shortcuts here.
I had a very nice add-on xyz installed on chrome. Somewhere somehow a window showed up that let me assign keyboard shortcuts to enabling disabling my current add-ons. I wanted to get rid of that window and hit Ctrl-W. This shortcut was assigned to xyz addon, and I closed the window immediately! Then, I go looking for shortcut settings for add-on and I am unable to find it. now I am unable to close the tabs at all using that key combination(instead it toggles enable/disable that add-on keeping the current tab open), nor am I able to locate that shortcut corner. Can somebody locate it for me?
In the future, go to chrome://extensions then on the bottom right of that page, click the link Keyboard shortcuts.
I believe this is the window you're describing, that stole ctrl-w from you:
(I must say the gui-window for shortcuts very well hidden). The Only way I could get rid of this problem was by uninstalling and re-installing the addon - xyz, which rebound the keystroke Ctrl+W to the action close tab.
