Annoyance #1 – Too many clicks until I can Inspect an Element

Very often I need to quickly check an element, whether to check the spelling of an id or a div, or to see what the code is doing inside the page.  What I do is hover the mouse and right click right over the element, and when the menu opens, I choose “Inspect Element”.  Now in Firebug, as soon as I make that choice to inspect the element, the Firebug display opens, and it immediately shows me the exact element within the page.  But with Chrome’s Developer Tools – when I choose Inspect Element, it only opens the display, but does not show me the exact element.  Instead, I have to go back to the page, hover the mouse, right click and choose Inspect Element – a second time!  Then Chrome finally shows me the element I wanted to look at.

Maybe this seems like a minor annoyance, but I do this right-clicking and inspecting elements all the time when I’m developing a web page.  And sometimes with Chrome, the display will open and I’ll have to go back and scroll some to find my element again on the page, before I can right click and choose Inspect Element again.  When this happens over and over, I’m sorry but at that point, I go right back to Firebug again.  I right click something, I choose Inspect Element, and voila there’s my element right there and I can quickly recall that ID name or whatever it is I needed to assess.
