Currently we are going to replace the current developer console with a new developer environment, composed by:

'''''NOTE''''': As of build 650 (and perhaps earlier), the Developer Console no longer exists as a single entity.  Its functionality has been split out into different activities and tools.

  −
* Log Viewer is now a separate [[Log Viewer]] activity.
  −
* Terminal is now a separate [[Terminal]] activity.
  −
* Memphis is ... partly covered by the [[Analyze]] activity.
  −
 
  −
* While build 650 has no trivial in-GUI way to find your build number, it can be learned via the [[Terminal]] activity.

==For older releases==
  −
 
  −
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.
