Created attachment 258812 [details] [Image] Tiny console prompt A feedback from https://twitter.com/glenmaddern. He often uses Web Inspector docked to right. The console prompt becomes too narrow when sidebars are expanded. It also feels like the split console is a subview of the content view, the one in the middle, but it's not. It's a thing on its own, and it should span all the way from left to right.
I have concern with doing this when docked to the bottom. It is also visually weird to have a white bar all the way across the bottom, and footers in the sidebars sitting on top of it and not at the bottom of the Inspector.

Should we start having custom layout when docked to right?
I often use Web Inspector docked to right. Therefore I close the sidebars when possible. At least one of the them. That way I often hide essential tools/infos unfortunately [1]. A solution to the problem could be to make one of the sidebars optional without breaking a developers workflow. Example: Debugger Tab The left sidebar could only contain resources. As soon as you picked a file, the sidebar can be closed. In Chrome "Cmd+p" opens a search-field where I can search for a specific file. That way I don't even need to open the sidebar most of the times. [1] https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144742
Yes, we could consider overlay sidebars as an option.
