           Summary: Web Inspector: Alias $ to
                    querySelector/querySelectorAll
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: addyo at chromium.org


We currently alias $ to document.getElementById(), however this limits the capabilities of the selector to only the ID. With querySelector available and capable of doing a lot more, I think we should switch to it.

Paul Irish and I have spoken to the Firebug guys about this and their implementation is effectively $ == getElementById and $$ == qSA too. The good news is they're up for switching to $ = qS and $$ = qSA if we are, at the same time.

If we're up for this, I'd like to land the patch (it would be my first) :)

PS: opting for qS over qSA to avoid people having to learn to use $("#id")[0] etc.
