TextArea Fallback for SourceEditor going away
Some time ago, way back in the heady days of Firefox 7, Mihai Șucan began work to incorporate the Orion text editor into our codebase and landed it in Firefox 8. At the time, we had some concerns around accessibility and localization: would Orion be up to the task of being an in-browser editor for the [...]
Firefox 11 Devtools Additions
With the Page Inspector landed for Firefox 10 (currently in Beta), we’re adding to it with a couple of exciting new features for Firefox 11 (now on Aurora). The first of these features is somewhat complementary to the Page Inspector and lives in its own window. The Style Editor is the hard work of Cedric [...]
Web Console Key Change: Cmd+Opt+K on Mac
If you’re on Nightly, you may wonder what happened to the keyboard shortcut for the Web Console on OS X. It moved and is now on Cmd+Opt+K. That happened with a patch to move the Page Inspector to Cmd+Opt+I in bug 689924. We had a bug to add the original keybinding back, but for several [...]
New Stuff: Style Editor, Debugger, Inspector, Web Console; Contributors!
Hey! There’s some hot new stuff in Nightlies you might not be aware of. It’s called the Style Editor and, as it says on the tin, it’s for editing CSS of your web page. You can find it in the Web Developer menu. “But, you can already do that with the Rule View in the [...]
Inspector Scratchpad and Web Console Power Tips
We landed a new feature in Aurora(10) this past week. It’s kind of a big deal. It represents the culmination of nearly 2 years of evolution and iteration and eventually became the focus of most of the Firefox Developer Tools team. I believe there are contributions to the Inspector (or Highlighter as we call it [...]
Orion is now on by Default in Nightlies
Orion is now the default editor in Scratchpad in Nightlies (as of today, August 18, 2011). You can revert to the textarea-based editor by changing devtools.editor.component to textarea. If you do, please tell us why you did that! Thanks.
Scratchpad can haz Orion
This weekend, the incomparable Mihai Sucan put the finishing touches on the Orion Source Code editor integration pieces and attached it to the Scratchpad. Orion is an open source code editor project that IBM is building. See Mihai’s blog post for some details and a link to an earlier demo video. It’s currently turned off [...]
Highlighter Integration Build, August 7, 2011
I put together another build this weekend with some of our in-progress patches. I left out a few features that weren’t specifically for the Highlighter that were in the previous version (Orion in Scratchpad, the Style Editor to name two). You can download the build for your platform here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-devtools/. For this build, we wanted [...]
DevTools Integration Build
(Crossposted to dev.apps.firefox and the DevTools blog) Hi, I have a present for you. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-devtools/ If you go there and download the version for your operating system, you can get a sneak preview of what we’ve been working on in the Developer Tools group. It is a little rough around the edges still as it’s [...]
