Report from a user: ------------------- "Please let the Errors Warnings and Logs behave like checkboxes instead of radio buttons. For instance when you want to see Errors *and* Logs but not Warnings."

For instance when you want to see Errors *and* Logs but not Warnings." Is this referring to the console panel? If yes then we already support this with help of meta key press (ctrl in case of linux/windows) + click. We can selectively click while having the meta key pressed. Correct me if I am wrong.
*** Bug 107704 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Widening the scope of this bug a bit: we have "sources" and "severities". It should be possible to filter on both. Pavel's suggestion: "I was thinking of a "Sound Mixer" view where there were vertical severity bars (one per message source)."
Slightly more explanation: Console messages have (at least) two properties that are interesting: "source" and "level". Currently, we offer filtering on the latter via the weird "Error", "Warning", "Log", "Debug" quasi-checkboxes at the bottom of the console. We offer no filtering on the former (which includes sources like "HTML", "JS", "Network", "XML", and "Other"). Based on some discussion in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107704, it seems like we should. I'd like to come up with some sort of UI that reasonably presents this matrix of filters to users.
> we already support this with help of meta key press (ctrl in case of linux/windows) + click On the narrower scope: I agree with Mike that checkboxes would be more intuitive - until Vivek mentioned we supported multiple selection via ctrl + click, I had no idea this was supported. Something more user-friendly would almost certainly be better. > I was thinking of a "Sound Mixer" view where there were vertical severity bars (one per message source) Is it possible to see a rough mock-up for what this might look like? :) In my mind it feels overly complex, but my visualization may be incorrect.
> We offer no filtering on the former (which includes sources like "HTML", "JS", "Network", "XML", and "Other") Agreed that filtering on these messages would be useful. I'm surprised this isn't currently supported to be honest.

Created attachment 193778 [details] Decreased checkbox size and lighter dropdown arrow separator.
The font should be on "0 of 0" (i.e. smaller). Also, you should check the looks on a Mac.

Comment on attachment 193777 [details] Patch You should split this change into 1) the one normalizing the levels 2) migrating to the non-CSS filtering 3) introducing new UI widgets. Also, please decrease the font 1px for the filter labels.
Current inspector supports multiple selection.
