           Summary: Inspector should support point-and-click to select a
                    node to inspect
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: aroben at apple.com


The Inspector should support point-and-click to select a node to inspect. This
has a few advantages over the current "Inspect Element" context menu item:

1. It's clearer which node you're choosing, because the hovered node will be
outlined before you choose it.
2. It's potentially more discoverable than "Inspect Element".
3. It doesn't require you to click on the node you're going to inspect, which
could potentially change its state.

Bug 16532 covers a complimentary (and inverse) behavior.
