What is the use of the Developer Tools in VS Code?

Question

When you click on Help, I see the item "Toggle Developer Tools".

I just want to ask what is the use of the Developer Tools inside VS Code. I don't see any information in the docs.

Answer 1

When you select the option Help > Toggle Developer Tools , the Chrome DevTools window should open. Visual Studio Code is built with Electron , which is simply put a wrapper or container for creating desktop applications built with HTML and Javascript.

With this in mind, the Developer Tools can be especially handy if you're debugging or developing plugins, or IDE specifics for Visual Studio Code itself.

Answer 2

在我的情况下，在帮助中的 Toggle Developer Tools 中找不到，但可以找到 CommandPalette（Cmd+P 并键入“>”）。
