Hi, thanks for this great peace of software, you saved me a lot of time.
I've configured a Chrome based kiosk and I would like to access Developer Tools.
I've even tried creating chrome-policies.txt with DeveloperToolsDisabled": false without success...nothing happen when pressing F12 or CTRL+SHIFT+J
Can you help me?
Thanks anyway

Hello straps,
Shortcuts are blocked separately.
You will have to remaster kiosk ISO -> edit 003-settings.xzm/etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml and remove 'F12' and 'C-S-j' key combinations from blocked shortcuts.
Please refer to kiosk documentation:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/kiosk-customization.html
Thank you.

Thanks for your support, but it doesn't work anyway.
I've done what you said and after remastering a rebootingverified via SSH that rc.xml was valid, without C-S-j and F12 shortcuts, but Dev Tools won't open anyway.
Am I missing something else
? Thanks again

Must be some typo on your side.

Could it be something related to disable_navigation_bar=yes in my config.txt?

Could be as some settings are forced when Chrome works in kiosk mode ('--kiosk' flag).
Please set it to 'disable_navigation_bar=no' and check if developer tools work.
btw: Additional_components should be used only for official modules. System will try to download '100-next.xzm' from our server and fail to reconfigure (if i remember correctly).

I'll try enabling navigation bar, thanks.
100-next.xzm is a package I have created and mastered in the ISO and everything works well with the config I've posted.
