Hi Richard, 2010/6/22 Richard Quadling <[email protected]>: > Hi. > > I would like to be able to press F12 to open FireBug, but into a new window.
As in Firebug for Firefox, you can press CTRL+F12 to open in a new window. Currently, Firebug Lite needs to be active (orange bug icon) in order to be able to listen to the F12/CTRL+F12 keys, but we are working on a way to listen such keys even when it is inactive.

I understand that when we're are developing, we tend to reload the page several times, and consequently loose all UI states when you reload the page is not good. We are working on a way to make Firebug Lite persists between page refreshes. Please star the following issue if you want to get notified when we have a patch for it: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=3167 > > Cycle is ... > > 1 - Load page. > 2 - F12 to open firebug. > 3 - Click icon to detach firebug. > 4 - Drag to other window. > 5 - Maximize firebug. > 6 - Make amendments. > 7 - Duplicate changes in source code. > 8 - Publish source code to server. > 9 - Refresh page to reload changes. > 10 - Goto step 2. > > Being able to remove steps 2 to 5 would certainly make things a little easier. Try the "open in a new window" option. It won't solve your issue completely, but at least you will skip the steps 1 to 3. You can also move the browser window to your second monitor (instead of moving the Firebug Lite UI window) so you can avoid the step 4. > > I've only just loaded the extension (and reported a bug > http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=3165).
