No need for the curly braces.

After this was applied I got a small error when I open the Inspector with the ⌥⌘C shortcut that opens the console.

TypeError: Result of expression 'WebInspector.currentPanel' [undefined] is not a valid argument for 'in'.

That comes from Console.js, at approx line 87:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/inspector/front-end/Console.js#L59

  function animationFinished()
  {
      if ("updateStatusBarItems" in WebInspector.currentPanel)
          WebInspector.currentPanel.updateStatusBarItems();
      WebInspector.currentFocusElement = this.promptElement;
      delete this._animating;
  }

I think that has to do with the fact that a "this.currentPanel" was deleted in this patch.

Eek, opening with ⌥⌘I I am getting an empty error messages from:
InspectorController.storeLastActivePanel(panelName);

This error seems to happen because [WebInspector showConsole] firing before m_frontend is set causes m_showAfterVisible to be overridden from CurrentPanel to ConsolePanel. I'm not sure but maybe adding m_showConsoleAfterVisible would be a fix?
