How to debug Javascript snippet in Obsidian?

I saw BenCodeZen debugging some snippet of Javascript code he wrote in a dataviewjs section. Doing this he opened the “developer tools”. But I don’t understand how to manage this in Obsidian under Windows. I can’t find any feature in the settings doing this. Can you help me?

The Developer Tools can be opened on windows with the shortcut:
Ctrl + Shift + I

Some more context for others finding this: Obsidian is made using Electron, basically the Chrome browser. And because it’s a browser we can use Chrome’s Developer tools to debug Obsidian.
