"Force Sticky Console": Safari devtools shifts away from Console to DOM inspector on reload When I'm working with the DevTools open, if I refresh the page, DevTools automatically switches to the DOM Inspector tab instead of staying on the console. Here's an animated GIF image to demonstrate the behaviour: http://gfycat.com/InsignificantSpiritedGrackle

How do I make sure DevTools always stays on the Console even after refresh?

There was an answer proposed here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/218126/43068 but it's not a 100% solution (as commented by the author on that answer).
This is currently not possible, if you keep the developer tools docked in the window. If you undock the developer tools, the tools respect that they have been opened using Show Error Console.
