Does Zen have a "developper mode" that display the URL bar on the top for a list of websites ?

Hi,

I come from Arc, and I really love the developer mode it offers — it allows me to see the complete URL and shows icons for tools I don’t use, like the inspector, console, etc.

Is it possible to have a similar mode in Zen? I couldn’t find anything about it in the documentation or interface.

Thank you!

Hi @joffreypersia! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

Zen doesn't have a dedicated "developer mode" like Arc that displays the URL bar at the top along with icons for developer tools. However, you can access developer tools (like the inspector and console) using customizable keyboard shortcuts, and there are some settings that let you adjust the visibility and layout of the URL bar and toolbars. For example, you can toggle the old-style URL bar with the zen.view.use-deprecated-urlbar setting in about:config, or adjust toolbar layouts with zen.view.use-single-toolbar and compact mode options. These features let you tweak the UI, but there isn't a single mode that combines all the developer-centric elements and tool icons in one place like Arc does.
You can find more details about these settings and shortcuts in the preferences and about:config options in Zen
(reference).

To reply, just mention @dosu.
