Chrome "throttling" toggle on/off HOTKEY - google-chrome

I often:
turn off throttling through dropdown
hit refresh
turn on throttling
through dropdown
It's a bit of a task each time! I can't just click the 'phone' button because that doesn't load the page properly when refreshing
Is there a hotkey to enable/disable ONLY throttling, not phone view, not dev-tools in general, but SPECIFICALLY and ONLY throttling?

Chrome fixed this. They now have an 'offline' checkbox within network, and it is now separated from the phone view.
It's still 3 clicks, but no longer 5 clicks + scrolling/picking from a dropdown
What would be great would be a way to control developer tools from the page javascript, basically telling the page when to go offline. This way, you could refresh and never touch the offline button, 1 click.

How to focus Buttons (or other widgets) with TalkBack turned ON in Android Device?

I'm implementing Accessibility in my application. Here's the scenario :
I have 4 buttons arranged horizontally at the very top of the screen (Activity). On the click of a button, I'm launching an Alert Dialog which displays something to the user. With the alert being displayed, I will still be able to perform click operations on those 4 buttons at the top of the screen. When I turn ON TalkBack (Android Accessibility Service) in Android device and click on that button, alert is getting displayed but I'm unable to move the focus (a yellow rectangular box which will be there when TalkBack feature is turned ON in Android phone) to those 4 buttons. Please help!
Try to set the below properties to your buttons
android:importantForAccessibility="yes"
android:focusable="true"
You won't be able to do it with a dialog, you'll need to fake it with a View.
Perhaps you are using the wrong component which is why it sounds odd when you describe it? A picture of your design would help provide some context.
As #aardrian says, the alert dialog is modal and will (and does) block user input from the underlying UI. Clicking away from the dialog or pressing back will dismiss the dialog.
With TalkBack enabled, the user will be able to press the system back button, use the back gesture (swipe down, then left) or select an option within the dialog to dismiss it.
Try to integrate voice control into your application via Accessibility TalkBack
Define 4 buttons, Alert Dialog Box as objects, selected by voice:
button 1
button 2
...
...
I am studying the limitations of voice control of Android smartphone/ device in Blind Mode ( eyes-free)

Close will hide keyboard and not navigate back

I use MVVM Cross in my UWP app. I noticed that if I call Close(this) in my ViewModel and the keyboard is open it will just close the keyboard instead of navigate back. I have to click another time to actually do the navigation.
This behaviour reminds me of the back button of the phone, where first the keyboard is closed and then the navigation is made.
EDIT: this seems only to happen when it's a view who contains a user control. When all code is directly in the view it works without problem.
Is there a way to tell MVVM Cross to just do the navigation? Or do I first have to be sure that the KeyBoard is closed?

How to get warning massage when clicking close(X) button of browser with tabs in Google Chrome

How to get a warning massage if i accidently click the close button of the chrome browser which have multiple tabs opened at that time?
I am a regular user of Crome and having this problem while using it. I normally open multiple tabs inside a single browser but sometimes i accidently click the close button of browser and as soon as the button is clicked crome does't give any warning issue about multiple active tabs and close the entire window.
Is the end user like me is browsing on normal crome window then he can open the websites again by checking the web history but if he is browsing inside private browser then he can't do anything(this happens with me very regularly because i normally browse in private browser). On the other hand if you accidently click the close button in mozilla which have multiple tabs open it throws a warning massage to the user and asks for his wish.
Go find an extension called "Keep One Pinned Tab". It may not be exactly the function you need, but if you search for other extensions, I am sure there is such an extension that does just that. If you can't find one, I suggest to learn how to develop extensions and make one yourself, you can share it with others when it's done.

iOS7 - <select> menu not reset on history.back / browser back button

This is a strange bug that occurs on the iPhone 5 when navigating back to a previous page.
Here's the steps to reproduce the bug on an iPhone 5:
Select a menu option that directs to a new page
From the new page press the browser back button
Try and navigate to the same page again using the same menu
An example page to try this on is here. On this page, select 'Javascript Tutorials' from the first menu on the page. Then follow steps above...
In my situation there is no go button to follow the link (like the second menu on the example page). The option is followed when clicked. The problem with this is that because the page you returned from is selected in the menu, you are unable to navigate to it. You cant re-select it.
My question: Is this a known iOS 7 bug? And is there a solution? My search has come up empty so far.
My JS code selects the first option when the menu is generated on page load. And as said, this bug only occurs on the iPhone.
This is not an iOS 7/iPhone 5 bug.
I can recreate it in Chrome on Windows 7.
As you said,
"because the page you returned from is selected in the menu,
you are unable to navigate to it"
The menu is pre-selected because of autocomplete behavior
When you press browser "back" in step 2 (versus page refresh), browser remembers the state you left the select in
https://stackoverflow.com/a/2699400/1175496
When you re-select an option that is already selected
You haven't changed anything; so the change event doesn't fire
Scripts listening for that event (as with the onChange attribute in your example) won't send you to the page
I fix this by putting autocomplete="off" attribute on the form element containing your select;
this prevents number 1, which prevents number 2.

Google Chrome extension button pop-out: How to make it persistent

I have a very simple Chrome extension which produces a bubble pop-out in the top-right of the screen. In the bubble I present the mobile version of our site.
Currently when the extension icon is clicked the bubble pops out and the mobile homepage loads. The user can click around within the bubble and use the mobile site as they wish.
However, once the user clicks outside the bubble is closes. Clicking again repeats the above process.
I wondered if there was a way to make the bubble pop-up/out persistent? So, instead of it disappearing when the user clicks elsewhere it stays loaded until the user clicks the extension icon again. This way the button acts as an on/off switch rather than a single event trigger.
Is this possible, and would someone mind directing me to the code which would help me do this?
As stated in the FAQs, this is not possible. However, chrome.windows.create may meet your needs.
