This was tested on the latest Safari Tech Preview.

You need to pick the result frame in the console context selector on the right side for $1 to work.

We should auto switch this based on the selected frame/element in the DOM tree I think. I'm pretty sure we have other bugs about this.

I didn't know there was such a thing. I agree it would be great to automatically switch the context.
