I agree with you that having a details sidebar contain non-specific global is conceptually inconsistent. However, I'm not sold on the alternatives.

This feature was made specifically for saving CSS changes made in the Styles panel. I added it as a panel to minimize context switching.

Whatever we do, I'd like it to be:
1. Easy to discover after making changes in the Styles panel.
2. Access from Styles panel with one click.

In the future, we may have more CSS/layout tools that are global (and not related to the selected DOM node). A few examples from other browsers:

- Chrome DevTools have Animation panel that shows all animations on the page. It's at the bottom drawer (which we don't have). Their Changes view is there as well. It is hard to discover but it's easy to access.

- Firefox DevTools have Fonts view that list all fonts used on the page. It's in the right sidebar of the Elements tab.
