           Summary: Web Inspector: Multiple Selection on Scope Bars by
                    default Conflicts with other behavior on OSX

In my testing, none of the other scope bars on OSX allow for multiple
selections, making the Inspector be an outlier, however, there are use cases
where multiple selection is useful, it is just confusing when it is the
default. It should be that a click without modifier keys selects just the
clicked scope, and a click with the meta key selects multiple options.

I have a patch done, but the one thing I am not sure about is how to handle the
case where the multiple selection key should be the Command key on Mac
(e.metaKey), but the Control key on Windows (e.ctrlKey). There is a FIXME there
for now, but if anyone knows how to handle that, that would be great.
