How to reposition Chrome Developer Tools

Question

The tools are opened on the bottom of the chrome window per default  This is a rather bad choice for a wide screen display since there is plenty of empty space to the right but not much vertical space to spare  Unfortunately  I have found no way to reposition the tools  I would like to have them on the side  similar to firebug    The only option similar to what I want is to detach the dev tools and place chrome and the tools window side-by-side  This is not very convenient for quickly alt-tabbing from the IDE to the browser and back though  so an  integrated  solution would be nice

If you use Windows  there some shortcuts  while devtools are opened  Pressing Ctrl Shift D will dock all devtools to left  right  bottom in turn  Press Ctrl Shift F if your JS console disappeared  and you want it docked back to bottom within dev tools

After I have placed my dock to the right  see older answers   I still found the panels split vertically   To split the panels horizontally - and even got more from your screen width - go to Settings  bottom right corner   and remove the check on  Split panels vertically when docked to right    Now  you have all panels from left to right  p
