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

Does any one know how to make a tab into a group using only the keyboard?
One option is by installing the following Chrome Extension:
New Tab in Group Keyboard Shortcut
By default it comes set up as: Ctrl+Shift+Y
If you wish to change the shortcut:
Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts
In that page search "New Tab in Group Keyboard Shortcut"
Set up the key you want.
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.
Switching between console panels should be possible with Ctrl+[ or ] as per devtools help:
But it does nothing for me. The same goes for Ctrl+Alt+[.
Is it because I'm using french keyboard?
Is it possible to use these shortcuts with a french keyboard?
It could be because you have an extension that is overriding the shortcuts.
Open chrome://extensions/
Scroll to the bottom, click 'Keyboard shortcuts"
Ensure that no shortcuts replicate Chrome defaults. If they do, click the X to remove them.
I just set my keyboard to french on mac and enabled:
Now by hitting ⌘+1 (on the french keyboard it's ⌘+&) it works. Do not actually use SHIFT to get the actual number on the french keyboard.
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.
Just now, I noticed I can't search in resource panel.
In Google Chrome old version, press Ctrl + F and there is nice search pop-up at the bottom in resources panel just like the image showing bellow.
Is it gone permanently or it can be enable somehow?
If you are using Chrome Canary, as of this writing, follow these steps to search a tab:
Open Devtools
Press the Escape key to open the console drawer from any main tab (Resources, Source, etc).
Select the search tab on the console drawer (see image below)
Enter your search criteria
Press the Enter key
