Web Inspector: Inspecting the inspector

On Chrome if you undock the inspector you run inspector itself on it

but not the same is possible on Safari. Isn't there any similar way for Safari? On docs are not clear about this I believe, how do you develop the inspector itself? Compiling whole WebKit everytime?

Oh, once the defaults have been set and you restart Safari, you open the inspector² by right clicking and selecting "Inspect Element" anywhere in inspector¹.

Works great, thank you. Sorry for not finding that doc at the first hand. Last question, do you know of the same for WebKitGtk?
