Why....devtools

Reported by jsv...@gmail.com, May 27 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. standard user
2. zero need for dev tools
3. can't change keybinds forced to use workarounds 

What is the expected behavior?
i expect to be able to browse the internet, and not have a damn window pop up everytime i use push to to talk... or at least the ability to change the keybind LIKE EVERY OTHER PROGRAM OUT THERE

What went wrong?
some idiot thought EVERYONE needed dev tools 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

i'm fairly computer savvy,  but i'm no programmer i've got zero needs to use dev tools, 90% of your users do not need dev tools... you put it on an F key, that almost every gaming service uses for either screen shots, or vid capture. although they were all intelligent enough to add the ability to .... CHANGE IT.
 
now i havent tried this but you are welcome:

Disabling the developer tools is difficult but you can do it:

Open Chrome (Or Chromium).
Open the developer tools by pressing F12 and resize the developer tools panel by moving the splitter (Sounds strange, but trust me). You don't have to do this if you are sure that you have resized it before.
Close all Chrome windows.
On Windows 7 open the file C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences in your favourite text editor. On Linux the file is located at ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences. On Windows XP it may be somewhere else. Don't know.
Search for devtools. You will find a section which looks like this:

"devtools": { "split_location": 256 }

(That's why I told you to change the panel size in step 2. When you don't do this then this section does not exist and you have to create it manually somewhere.)
Change this section so it looks like this:

"devtools": { "disabled": true, "split_location": 256 }
Save the file.
Start Chromium. Press F12. Nothing happens. Press Ctrl+Shift+J. Nothing happens. Right-click and try to select the Inspector. Doesn't work.
Be happy.

also putting puhs to talk on f12 is kinda weird since you want it to be a button thats easy to access and not on the completely other side of the keyboard ...

Seems this is a feature request, marking it as Untriaged to get more inputs from dev.

Thanks..!!
