3 sounds good to me. How about a full screen button next to the "Clear Console" button? [ Hide Console ] [ Clear Console ] [ Full Screen ] That button wouldn't be present if the console wasn't open, but if it was, it would toggle between Full Screen and non Full Screen, and would remember the user's preference. This is option 2, the one you said you weren't as enthusiastic about, but it would have some of the elements of 3 (button placement, etc.). Created attachment 43488 [details] [PATCH] Extra Button (It is a Preference) to Toggle Full Console Mode I tried a few different approaches. For instance, this was the 3 way button approach: http://screencast.com/t/NmNkNGFi However, the approach taken in this patch is Brian's approach: http://screencast.com/t/YmJjODg4MjAt The patch covers most of the details. Points to consider: - The Drawer is the container for the Console, and also for the currently inactive Changes View. Therefore this button is a part of the Drawer, not the Console. Maybe my terminology in this patch is inappropriate? - Move this button? On IRC we mentioned possibly putting the Console filter int the console itself. That might be a good place to put this button. - I did experiment with deselecting the panel in Full mode. The way I did it was deselect after the slide up animation, show before the slide down animation. In the end this didn't look very clean, so I removed that behavior for this patch. Out of both screencasts, I also like the one Brian proposed better, and I think it would work for most people. One additional idea that came to my mind was to simply add the "Full console" mode to the top (tab) bar, a a bit like in Firebug, to make it more prominent. Clicking on the Console tab would then activate the console in full mode, while on any other pane/tab, it would be half-width/normal. Great work though, we're getting there!

I'm simply amazed that I never came up with this... since this is nearly exactly what it looks like I'm doing! Timothy is the gatekeeper on new panels. As a plus it would make creating an icon a little easier ;) Paul you might also be interested in some of Pavel's ideas on having tabs for snippet / multiline edits. His ideas are on bug 30553.

His ideas are on bug 30553. Cool, will have a look! I'm extremely interested in improving the Web Inspector with whatever I can. I am fine with a new toolbar icon, it is a good solution. Right now the toolbar having a selection panel confuses me. Created attachment 43527 [details]
[PATCH] Console Panel
This patch does not include the consoleIcon.png image, however it adds that image to the appropriate build files and assumes it exists. I'll just wait on an image from Timothy Hatcher. The patch itself can be reviewed.
Remaining Issues:
- Switching Panels should be broken into two steps so that animating the drawer to full size should not temporarily show a white background.
- Switching off and on the Console panel should cancel the closing animation (if one is running) and retrigger the opening animation.
Ahh, I forgot the possibility of reopening to the Panel. (InspectorController specialNameForJSPanel and friends). I'll see if I can get that part done tonight.

This completely reverses http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/46175 because then the Console was not a "full panel", and now it is.

Buried in the ChangeLog => "removed unnecessary element reordering" The toggleConsoleButton is already specified in inspector.html. This was taking the element, and just re-adding it onto the end of the anchoredStatusBar elements. Useless action since the order is how we want it in the html already. > > + this.fullConsole = false; > > This should be be something like "fullPanel" since this is Drawer.js, and > should not have console mentions. Why not just use this.state? I can rename this. As for merging this with this.state, I can't wrap my head around it right now to know if that covers all the animation cases or not. I'll give it a shot. > > + if (this.visible && WebInspector.currentPanel === WebInspector.panels.console) > > Can this not check the current panel and just use this.fullPanel?

I would need to add delete this.currentAnimation to every single animationFinished (3) in Drawer.js. I can do that =) > > + WebInspector.animations[key] = setTimeout(WebInspector.animateStyle, slice, animations, duration, callback, complete + slice, key); > > Why not just make the key be the timeout id? The timeout id changes every time this function retriggers itself (animateStyle does a timeout on animateStyle). Thus I have 1 key for the WebInspector.animations hash table. That value stored in the table for that key will always be the timeout of the current iteration of the timeout for that animation. Does this make sense? Created attachment 43550 [details]
[PATCH] Console Panel (Improved)
Addressed all the points.
More Todo (future patches):
- Convert WebInspector.animateStyle to an Interval instead of Timeouts
I also need to update the function names in the ChangeLog. =/ Created attachment 43553 [details]
[PATCH] Console Panel (Even Better)
Updated ChangeLog and a few style issues.
Created attachment 43558 [details] [PATCH] Console Panel (Even Better) > More Todo (future patches): > - Convert WebInspector.animateStyle to an Interval instead of Timeouts Done. Notes: I refactored animateStyle to use setInterval. Some interesting points: the original didn't actually use the "current" value anywhere. It determines the current, it assigns it to variables, but those variables are never used constructively, some not at all. I haven't looked into the history about this. I just removed all the extra computations.

I removed class "toggle" on the dock/undock button. The class does nothing. It should likely have been "toggled-on", however we are all very used to it being toggled off, that it felt much more natural being off.

[PATCH] Console Panel (Even Better)

Ahh, my latest patch I forgot to remove the image from the diff. You can just ignore the binary diff for the image. I will end up landing this manually and use whatever image I am given. Created attachment 43588 [details]

Now since we're > effectively addressing Webkit only, I was wondering it it wouldn't be more > efficient to use CSS Animations through the JavaScript exposed functions? Back when I wrote the animateStyle method, CSS animations didn't exist. We have switched a few uses over to use CSS animations, but there are somethings that are just easier with this method. (Or imposible currently with CSS animations.) Comment on attachment 43578 [details] [PATCH] Console Panel (Even Better) > + var element = null, start = null, current = null, end = null, key = null; You don't need current in this list. Icon attached. Landed in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/51246 r51246 = d631fe866617cc286f07337f4e19cebc1b0cda5a Wow, thanks for the quick fix. A larger console area is well welcomed. In my opinion, it is still behind the one used in firebug. A couple of things 1. having the code mixed in with the results of the code. Firebug offers a separate section to write in and one to see the results. I feel that something along these lines, as minor as it is, would make the console tab a bit more useful. 2. Having to hit a control key to do line returns. I feel that the firebug way of having to hit a control key (command os x, control win) to execute the script is a more elegant solution. 3. Is it possible to add in tabbing support? Again, I love the work that you guys are doing and I thank you for it. These are just a few suggestions to make the product a bit better.

For mac users, ⌥+Enter is a well known (or should be) for adding new lines. Again, consider the Snippets feature, which would be a text area. > 3. Is it possible to add in tabbing support? You mean tab as in whitespace? Right now tab is used for autocompletion. I think users would prefer tab for completion over whitespace in the Console. It would probably be good for Snippets though. |
