| The '''developer''' console activity provides a number of developer-targeted features (some of which previously existed as a separate activity):
| |
|
| |
| * XO Resources
| |
| * Memphis (memory usage tool)
| |
| * Log Viewer : sugar-log-viewer
| |
| * Terminal : Linux prompt
| |
|
| |
| From build 239 the activity can be started within the Sugar UI in two ways:
| |
|
| |
| * <tt>Alt+=</tt>
| |
| * <tt>Alt+0</tt>
| |
|
| |
| After it is started, <tt>Alt+=</tt> or <tt>Alt+0</tt> will toggle visibility; hiding or showing the activity. It can be dismissed by clicking on the X on top right corner.
| |
|
| |
| (Keyboard shortcut information can be found in [http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=sugar;a=blob;f=README the Sugar README] which should be referenced to ensure the developer console keyboard shortcuts have not changed.)

| This partial screenshot illustrates how the developer console appeared in build 239:

| ===Change font size===
| |
|
| |
| Here is how to increase the print size in the terminal for those who need it (a good quick-start for technically-minded low-vision users or developers):
| |
|
| |
| # Press <tt>Alt-0</tt> to get into the developer console, and the last tab is the terminal.
| |
| # Type ''<tt>nano ~/.sugar/default/terminalrc</tt>''
| |
| # Find the line saying ''<tt>Font = Monospace 8</tt>'', change it to ''<tt>Monospace 16</tt>'' (or whatever you want).
| |
| # Press <tt>Control-X</tt> and answer Yes to save.
| |
| # Close the developer console (the tiny tiny X in the top right-hand corner)
| |
| # Re-open it with <tt>Alt-0</tt>, the terminal should now be in a larger print.
