Summary Web Inspector: Open Inspector on side

Reported 2012-07-25 23:14:53 PDT
Not a bug, more of a feature suggestion, but it' been bugging me for a while. With most screens being wider then they are tall, It's really inconvenient that the inspector window only opens on the bottom of the page when opening it in the same window. It would be a convenient option for web developers as myself to be able to open it on the side of the page without opening it in a separate window and then losing it in the window stack.

This is already implemented in Chromium: just select "Settings"->"General"->"Dock to right". Which browser are you using?

(In reply to comment #1) > This is already implemented in Chromium: just select "Settings"->"General"->"Dock to right". Which browser are you using? Safari and Chrome on OS X. Is this setting part of WebKit core (as I assumed because the inspectors behave identically on Safari and Chrome) or am I bugging the wrong people?

You can also use long click on the dock/undock button for the "dock to right" button to appear (this works in the most recent versions only, e.g. Chrome Canary).

The setting is part of WebCore but it requires embedder's support and AFAIK it is only implemented for Chromium so far. Also the most recent Safari versions seem to use their own inspector front-end implementation.

Hope Safari will implement this.
