           Summary: Web Inspector: In inspect mode mouse movement over the
                    page should change node selection in Elements panel
                    interactively

          Platform: All

Desired behavior: After Inspect element button is pressed in Debugger, you can move your mouse over the web page and interactively see its reflection in Elements panel. To see each node selection in Elements panel you don’t need to click on selected element on the page.

Currently after you click Inspect button and select element on the page, you have to click on the element to see it in Elements panel. Besides, it worked as desired in Firebug.

I suppose this feature would allow to perform some actions not looking at Elements panel. For example, in inspect mode you could move your mouse over the page and delete various nodes pressing keyboard button Delete numerous times (fast and convenient for users who want to get rid of some parts of the page).
