Trigger Ctrl-Alt-L (View Debug Component Models) from F12 Dev Tools Console

Epicor (Kinetic?) exposes a lot of cool debug tools through the F12 Dev Tools console, many of which are accessible via hotkey, and others accessible via console.

“Debug Component Models” (AKA Ctrl-Alt-L) doesn’t seem to have a way to trigger it via the epDebug object, and that hot key combination trips up a lot due to browser/TSR apps/etc. capturing it and not letting Epicor (Kinetic?) ever see it.

You can copy-paste the code below into the console, which manually triggers the hotkey, allowing you to use “Debug Component Models” even if something else snagged your Ctrl-Alt-L three finger salute.

document.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', {key: 'l', code: 'KeyL', ctrlKey: true, altKey: true, bubbles: true, cancelable: true}));

So, I would guess broken on 2025.2.10.hotfixsomething? and fixed in 2025.2.somethingelse? i wonder if that made it to release notes? lol

I’m in Chrome in 2025.1.11.
