Hi Mike,
Yes, if you start up WebKit it will look as though Safari is running,
except that things like VO-Shift-M on Web page links will bring up the
contextual menu and other such fixes. You really are running Safari,
but the underlying engine powering it has some fixes. On the slightly
negative side (for me), the access keys for the Mail Archive site for
this list at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
don't work under WebKit right now, so I can't use Control-I to shift
the list of posts to a set of links indexed by date, and Control-C to
shift the listing back to links ordered by content into threads. (Or
navigate through threads to read the next post with Control-n and the
previous post with Control-p; or use the analogous commands of Control-
f and Control-b to move forwards or back by date). This went away in
September, but the fix will appear in an upcoming WebKit build. Until
then, I fire up Safari to read and search the Mailing List archives
for this list, but use WebKit for most everything else web-related.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi everyone. I decided to give the latest nightly build of web kit a
try, one thing I noticed, when running the webkit application, it
shows as safari, and even calls itself safari 3.1, is safari still
loading but using the newer web kit engine instead? So far, it's
working really well.
