how to watch fired events

This logs every time an event is fired. It gives good insight into how ckeditor starts up and operates. The events and params show up in Firebug's console.log. Just FYI.

Re: how to watch fired events

How can I use this code? I'm very interested in the events of CKEditor, but I don't know the way to use this code. Anyone can help me?

Re: how to watch fired events

it's a diff file...but in case that's too hard to figure out, bascially:
open _source/core/event.js
find

return function( eventName, data, editor )
                                {

and below it add:

if(console && console.log) console.log((editor ? editor.name : 'CK') + ' fired ' + eventName + ': ', data)

Make sure you are pointing to ckeditor_source.js or you recompile
