Bug 128813 – [GTK] Minibrowser: Add shortcut to open Web Inspector

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Diego Pino]

To open the Web Inspector it is necessary to right-click on the current page and select "Inspect Element" in the context menu. Safari or MiniBrowser EFL have a shortcut to open the Web Inspector directly. That is more comfortable.

There are a couple of minor nits, but this is a r- because the logic is not correct.

Is this shortcut used by some other port? Is it used in GtkLauncher?

Don't use camel case for attributes in this file. Also I guess you can use here BrowserWindow directly instead of GObject as you're using G_CALLBACK().

> Tools/MiniBrowser/gtk/BrowserWindow.c:511
> +    height = webkit_web_inspector_get_attached_height(inspectorWindow);

If you're going to use the variable just once, better do not define it and directly use the return value from the function.

In any case I don't think the logic is correct. If the inspector is shown in a dettached mode, the height will be 0 so you won't close it.

Both Firefox and Chromium use F12 as the inspector toggle shortcut.

Yes, Minibrowser EFL uses Ctrl+i to open the Web Inspector (Tools/MiniBrowser/efl/main.c:444):

else if (!strcmp(ev->key, "i") && ctrlPressed) {
        info("Show Inspector (Ctrl+i) was pressed.");
        ewk_view_inspector_show(ewk_view);
    }

GtkLauncher doesn't implement this shortcut.

Ok

Yes, that's correct. Finally I implemented visibility of the window registering to signals "open-window" and "closed" to know when the window has been detached but it's still opened and when the window was closed.

I didn't know about that. Minibrowser EFL uses Ctrl+i and Safari uses Command+Option+i (Ctrl+Alt+i in PCs).

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Safari_Developer_Guide/KeyboardShortcuts/KeyboardShortcuts.html

I initially thought of implemented as Ctrl+i as it's close to what other WebKit browsers (Minibrowser EFL and Safari) but if other browsers use F12 we can use that too.

Oops, I missed the discussion in the bug when I set cq+. Resetting cq flag (hopefully this won't be landed!)

I checked Firefox and it uses 'Ctrl+Shift+I' for opening up its Toolbox.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Keyboard_shortcuts

Chromium uses 'Ctrl+Shift+I' too.

Martin, I think you were thinking of Firebug which uses Ctrl+F12.

So, I think the shortcut should involve the 'Ctrl' and 'I' keys. Should 'Shift' also be included?

It seems that F12 and Ctrl+Shift+i both do the same thing. I do not have firebug installed. Using both Ctrl+Shift+i and F12 sounds find to me. That will make our behavior match Firefox and Chrome.
