Firebug on Mac OS X Lion

[christian.posta]

Hi,

I'm new to mac os x, but i'm definitely not new to firebug. I am very
accustomed to using the shortcut keys, but the main one (at least on
windows and ubuntu), F12, to open and close the firebug display at the
bottom of the browser seems to not work properly in Mac OS X Lion.
When I press F12, it switches to my widget screen. This means it's
probably mapped to an OS-level function.

Do others see this as well? Are there known conflicts between the OS
keyboard shortcuts and Firebugs shortcuts? Other than try to remap the
OS-level shortcut for F12 are there other options?

Thanks,
Christian

You have to edit the OS keyboard mappings, and then it will work.

Fwiw i map that to ctrl-meta i so it's the same as webkit.

I was looking for this myself. Here's what I did :

Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard

Check 'Use F1 F2 etc keys as standard function keys'

Now when I press Cmd + F12, I get Firebug, but to put the volume up, I need to add in the Fn key.

Function and modifer keys are messed up on a mac - just sayin.

All Firebug releases are here:
http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/

So, depends what version of Firefox do you use...

See the compatibility table here:
