[webkit-help] How to open the Web Inspector?

Hi Aaron,

I tried all this, but no dice. Right-click -> inspect element does nothing,
even after I set the WebKitDeveloperExtras flag. (And I shouldn't even need
to do, since I downloaded a pre-build binary).

Thanks anyway.

Any other ideas?

Cheers,



D
