How do I disable opening DevTools in the browser when running expo start?

When I run expo start (expo cli 2.6.14) in my react native project, it always opens a browser window with the DevTools. It's a nice feature, but sometimes I'd rather not have that happen.

It says in the console:

Opening DevTools in the browser... (press shift-d to disable)
But pressing shift + d just types out capital D. So I don't get why it says that. Maybe it's because I'm on a Mac, but I've tried shift/ctrl/alt/cmd + d and none of those do anything regarding disabling opening the window.

Am I missing something here?

I figured it out, once the bundler is actually up and running, then you can use shift + d as one of the commands, as well as press d to open DevTools manually.

It's odd that it tells you to use the command before you're actually able to use it.

Using shift + d (in the console) toggles the browser-debugger but for me it didn't work.

Instead to bring up the menu in the app press m in the console and disable remote debugging from there.
