== UI Improvements ==


There is considerable scope for improvement to the UI of the DOM Inspector.
* ability to remember sessions
* show inspector views as tabs instead of dropdown list items
* autocomplete for the URL bar
* consolidate mismatched UI items
* inline search for computed style, etc. views with save ability
* computed style etc saves scroll position
* "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it" should work with the browser's toolbars (i.e you could click on the reload button and inspect it).
* typing a url and hitting enter should inspect that url, without needing to click the "inspect" button
* option to inspect the current window at startup instead of the current document
* option to add "inspect this element" to right-click menu (like https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=434)
* The "find a node to inspect by id, tag, or attribute" ui could be changed to work like find-as-you-type
* the trees can get really deep, and i constantly find myself trying to make the window bigger, and scrolling upward to find the parent of the node i'm looking at.  not sure if there's a good way to address this?
* microsoft developer toolbar is interesting: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E59C3964-672D-4511-BB3E-2D5E1DB91038&displaylang=en  having an option to pin/unpin would be cool.
* maybe integrate event spy? https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1100
...more later.
