(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 [...]
If you use Panorama (aka, TabView) in Firefox (6 and up) and want to get a list of the currently visible tabs (i.e., the tabs in your currently-selected group), here’s the code to run in a Scratchpad (set to Environment:Browser*): let group = gBrowser.visibleTabs; // current group group.map(function (c) c.linkedBrowser.currentURI.spec).join(“\n”); Just select these two lines, [...]
When you put a key next to another key, there seems to be a strong chance* that some of the time, you will hit the wrong key. It so happens that the Scratchpad, landed recently on nightlies and now over in Aurora is right next to another key, F5. Which, you may know, is also [...]
I’ve been trying to put together a reasonable demo movie for the Scratchpad. Something that shows it in action and gives an idea of how you might use it. This video is, I think, close to what we need, but it could use a couple of additional features: The Inspect menu to show object inspection [...]
First of all, I feel obliged to ask you to use Aurora. It’s pretty. It has a nice icon. You’ll enjoy the early glimpse of features and smooth visuals. You can get it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/channel/. With that out of the way, I can talk about the landing of Scratchpad (formerly Workspace) into mozilla-central. It landed [...]
Good news, everyone! This morning we landed the Workspace feature in our devtools project repository. This is exciting stuff for practitioners of JavaScript and we’ll have more to write about it very soon. hint, it’s probably a lot simpler and more powerful than you think it is. Many thanks to Mihai Sucan for taking the [...]
Just a quick note to let people know that I’ve updated the Workspace extension recently. Added support for saving and loading files as well as a hotkey (F4) to open it from the browser. Many thanks to Erik Vold for some nice fixes and improvements! Install it here: http://antennasoft.net/addons/workspace.xpi.
This weekend, I did a bit more work on the Workspace to get it closer to a releasable state. I also had some help in the form of some community contribution via the prolific Erik Vold on github. Download: workspace.xpi * added the relevant .htaccess bits so you can install directly from the link. Just [...]
I went looking through my library for the classic Smalltalk-80 books to lookup the definition for the original consoleworkspace. When I realized I didn’t have the “orange book” on my shelf, I searched for it and found all of the original Smalltalk-80 books in PDF: http://www.world.st/books. From Smalltalk-80: The Interactive Programming Environment (p. 106, How [...]
One feature I wanted in Firefox 4 was a JavaScript Workspace. I know I’ve talked about it to a bunch of people. Most of the time, people looked at me like I had a chicken on my head. The concept is so simple yet hard to really convey how useful it is. Conversations inevitably go [...]
