Google Chrome normally opens the source view of the web page in its own new tab. To see a web page’s souce code you have to normally right-click on the page and choose “View Page Source”. If you prefer to spend most of your time on the keyboard and wanted to avoid extra mouse clicks then Google Chrome has a nice lilttle shortcut to get to the web page source code quickly.
Open a new tab in Google Chrome and type-in “view-source:http://the-web-address” like for example, “view-source:http://www.demogeek.com”
It’s a neat little shortcut if you prefer to interact with the keyboard the most.
I would much prefer that it allow me to view it in an external viewer/editor. The current method is ridiculous. You have to download the code to edit it now. A real time waster. You’ll probably tell me to use ‘Inspect Element’ and again I would laugh at you. I only use Windows Wordpad in the text document mode to edit code. Atleast they could give us a choice like that wonderful Firefox does.
Or you can just press crtl + u and save yourself the trouble
