# 💉 electron-inject

You find yourself locked out of closed source electron applications with no easy way to enable developer tools? ↷ *electron-inject* is here to help 👲


*electron-inject* is an application wrapper that utilizes the remote debug console to inject javascript code into electron based applications. For example, this can be pretty handy to enable otherwise unavailable features like the built-in developer console.

# Showcase

Inject hotkeys *F12:toggle devconsole* and *F5:reload* into closed source apps with devconsole disabled.

`--enable-devtools-hotkeys` .. enable developer hotkeys
`--timeout=xx` .. patch all known remote webContent/windows in a timeframe of `xx` seconds. set this to an arbitrary high value to make sure we're patching all future windows.
