Starting to think maybe it would be good to have a "DevTools" lite, now that there are literally dozens of tabs and pages. Is there a shortcut to just bring up the console?

ctrl+shift+j goes directly to console.

I believe ctrl+shift+i goes to whatever tab you were at last, and ctrl+shift+c goes to the element tab and enables the element selector.

I don't know if there's any other shortcuts but these are the one I use most often. You can also drag the various tabs to order them the way you like.

Correct, Control+Shift+J (Windows, Linux) or Command+Option+J (Mac) opens DevTools and focuses the Console panel.

I think it depends on the last feature used, but F12 does that for me. You can also try ctrl+shift+i (opt+cmd+i on Mac, I think?)

With DevTools open, Escape brings up the console.
