> This is something the user agent (i.e., Safari) would have to implement. WebKit has no control over browser-level keybindings, as they are separate from the Inspector's window. Feel free to file a bug report at bugreport.apple.com.

Ah, okay.

> I'm a bit puzzled, though. What's the point of using this shortcut (Cmd-Shift-C) when the web content is focused instead of the inspector? You can just right click "Inspect Element" anywhere, and then select a node using the tree or the existing shortcut. Is it just for the element highlighting?

As a developer I spend a bunch of time going from "looking at a page" to "I need to inspect this element". With Chrome, I can hit the keyboard shortcut, and it'll immediately invoke the "Inspect Element" function and bring up the inspector. Yes, I could use my mouse, but I'm a keyboard-oriented developer and I know many others are as well.
