Denny Caldwell (Grinn) (ID: 000000abd543eb51) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/04/2023 Can be a very helpful tool, when it works. It seems to only launch if you click it on a fresh page load. But it makes searching your code much simpler, so thanks to the developer for taking the time to publish it!

mister jib (ID: 0000002c9584582c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/16/2022 Was looking for something to let me quickly copy title attributes of dynamic content elements in the flow - this thing outputs it all which although not quite a hot key + right click kinda thing, it is a fantastic tool and definitely easier than hitting F12 to inspect element that way. Thanks for making and sharing this!
