Google Chrome disable window animations - google-chrome

After updating to Chrome 58 I noticed a new "zoom-fade" effect when restoring a minimized window, or opening a new window (Ctrl+N). This feels very unnecessary, and - in my desktop environment - totally out of place.
Is there a way to permanently disable all window animation effects?

You can disable the animation by adding the --wm-window-animations-disabled command-line flag.
For Linux/Ubuntu you can make this permanent by editing the Chrome shortcut at /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop. There are 3 Exec= lines where you will need to add --wm-window-animations-disabled immediately after the executable name.
If you find that this is no longer working, re-check your shortcuts as some Chrome updates (via a package manager) could have overwritten the shortcut(s), so you may need to re-edit them.

There's easy way to get rid of those animations everywhere & permanently under Linux.
Here's an example for Ubuntu:
sudo nano /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/dis_wm-window-anim
(on Debian its /etc/chromium.d/dis_wm-window-anim)
then
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="${CHROMIUM_FLAGS} --wm-window-animations-disabled"
Ctrl+x -> y -> "enter"

go to developer tools and then click top right menu click More tools and then click Animation
in top and left of Animation Tab you can see play and pause button by click on it you can stop and play animation

Drag and drop a window upwards in sikuli

Background:
I am trying to automate a desktop application using sikuli with Java.
When we click on a Browse button in the application, it will open a new window to select destination folder to download some files.
We need to click OK button once the folder is selected.
Problem:
Whenever we click on Browse button, an enlarged window is opened by default in the lab execution machine where the script is running.
Due to this, the OK button is not visible on screen.
We have to move the Browse window upwards in order to make it visible.
I tried using Region.dragDrop() method to move the window upwards.
However, it is not find the destination match which is behind the Browse window.
Please guide me in coming up with a working approach to this problem.
This is an indirect solution to your problem. Since drag/drop and other "visual" actions are usually more flaky and harder to automate, I suggest you use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible. In your case, if the blocking window is opened last, I assume it becomes the active window which means you can minimize it using Win+down combination (assuming you are in Windows).

Un-assign Keyboard Shortcut to Chrome Add-on (xyz)

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.

Don't show run tab after launch in Android Studio

I'm developing apps in Android Studio. But everytime I hit Run button, the Run tab pops up automatically from bottom with messages like Installing com.packagename etc..., Success, Launching
I've already disabled automatic displayin of Android DDMS tab (because I use DDMS from toolbar which opens new window) by editing configurations. But I can't disable this stupid automatic Run tab showing.
Is there any way to do this ?
There is no standard way of achieving this but I found an interesting workaround mentioned below and using the same.
When your run tab is opened, Instead of hiding it using right-top corner button, Drag it till it hides.
Like in picture shown below
Now Run your project run window wont appear, When you want it back click on run button in horizontal bar.
Working perfectly for me .
In case anyone still struggling with this annoying thing, there is a way to disable this annoying popup.
Note: this will remove the run tab altogether.
So basically go to your Run/Debug configuration and Uncheck Activate tool window at the bottom.
This gets rid of the Run tab.

Remove Chrome DevTools Workspace Folder

I've by mistake added the wrong folder to my Workspaces in Chrome DevTools.
How do I remove it?
In order to find the workspaces that you have configured you need to go into the Customize and Control DevTools menu (3 vertical dots at the top right of the console > Settings > Workspace).
Then the workspaces that you have added are listed and you can remove them using the X in the list.
I had problems when I added my whole workspace with all my projects in it to chrome. This resulted in the console freezing for a few minutes every time I opened it.
Oh wait… found the solution.
When you hover over the box there’s an ‘x’ you can click.
Sadly I couldn’t click this ‘x’ because it was being blocked by the path.
By resizing your window you can very exactly position your mouse to just hover over the ‘x’ but not the path. Very buggy.

How to remove all breakpoints in one step in Google Chrome?

How to remove all breakpoints in one step in Google Chrome? Using version 11.
[update]
There is now a feature request for this.
[update]
The feature request is closed (Dec 2011)!
This is now possible in Sources tab of Chrome Developer Tools.
Please see screen grab below and right click within the "Breakpoints" section of the left window.
Since recently (Chrome 18), you can right-click any breakpoint in the Breakpoints pane and voila! The "Remove All JavaScript Breakpoints" popup menu item!
Chrome Devtools crashed everytime I tried to access the Sources panel because of a breakpoint on a minified Javascript file.
To remove all breakpoints without access to the interface, you can do the following:
Open inspector-on-inspector : undock first inspector and hit ctrl+shift+i to open the second
On the inspector-on-inspector console, execute the following:
window.localStorage.breakpoints = [];
Close the inspectors and reload the page. Now the breakpoints are gone.
Under Sources, you can click button marked with red on picture below or use shortcut Ctrl + F8 just like tool tip is showing (activate / deactivate breakpoints). A little bit lower under 'Breakpoints' you will see all your breakpoints. If you choose to disable all, they will be grayed out.
solution here.
To purge all breakpoints open inspector on inspector (undock first
inspector and hit ctrl-shift-I to open the second) and run
"WebInspector.settings.domBreakpoints.set([])" in second inspector's
console.
new Tabs; Ctrl+Shift+J to Console; Access URL
Open the Chrome task manager and end the tab page.
Ctrl+Shift+J to Application -> Service Workers (Offiline) -> Refresh
to Sources Cancel Breakpoint
Success
Another option is to de-activate all break points using:
Ctrl + F8
In my case Uninstall and new installation of Chrome was without any success.
Also window.localStorage.clear() did not help.
My "last chance solution" is to remove entire directory where Chrome is storing its data.
First turn off your Chrome.
Then look at this path "c:\Users\ {your_user} \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage\". Here try to delete all what is in this directory.
You can also clear all inspector settings and reload the inspector. It helped me with fantom breakpoint I could not remove in any other way. Open inspector and go to Preferences -> Sync -> Restore defaults and reload (at the bottom).
Step 1: Go to Developer tools and expand Breakpoint section
Step 2: Right click on expanded area of breakpint and there will be many options lik
