How to make screen stay turned on while charging?

Question

I have 2 devices: one with Android 4.2.1 (Emotion UI 1.6), one with Android 5.1.

Android 4 device has an option in "developers" settings to always keep screen turned on while charging. Android 5 device seems not have "developers" settings at all, and I couldn't find such an option to keep screen turned on while charging anywhere.

Could I somehow tell my Android 5.1 device not to turn off the screen after timeout, when charger is plugged?

Antonio, have you already enabled developer settings on the Android-5 device? They started to hide them around 4.2/4.3. — Izzy, Nov 22 '16 at 08:16

This option is still there in developer settings. Those settings have just been hidden since around Android 4.2/4.3. Our developer-options tag-wiki shows you how to enable them:

Go to Settings → About
tap the Build number entry 7 times (hammering the item)
Go back to the Settings main page, Developer Settings should now be visible

In there you'll now find the option to "keep display on".
