Terminal Tip: Enable Safari web inspector

Not sure how 3 clicks is any easier than typing one line in terminal, but whatever. Nobody ever said you could ONLY do this via Terminal. Perhaps they just needed to feature something in their Terminal Tips sections.

Dang, give it a rest.

The Advanced preference setting works on Safari for PC, too. Nice.

Folks, take it easy! Keep in mind that the TUAW bloggers are Windows users by day, and have even resorted to posting Windows how-tos (enable SSH tunnels? love Outlook's 3-pane? hit F5 to refresh?).

So please give 'em a break.

I know this has already been said more than a few times in the comments, but seriously? This has been a preference setting since Leopard came out, and the WebKit nightlies offer a way more powerful inspector.

You don't need a terminal hack for this. There's a checkbox in the preferences, under advanced.

It's a shame it's so well hidden, Web Inspector is fantastic.

For what it's worth, the Webkit nightlies have a *much* more useful Web inspector. I use the inspector for work constantly, and I'm willing to trade a little bit of stability for the usefulness of the new inspector.

You would think they would know this, since we're more than a year past the release of 3.0

The "Show Develop menu in menu bar" option has been there since Safari 3.0.

There is an easier way in Safari 3.2.1. In the File menu, select Preferences. On the Advanced tab, just check the 'Show Develop menu in menu bar' option.
