      One very frequent command I use as a web developer is inspecting elements.

      Both ways to do this are a pain:

      • Right clicking on an element > Developer tools > Inspect.
      • F12 > Ctrl Shift C > click on element

      When you right click and hover over Dev tools, it says that "Inspect" keyboard shortcut is "Ctrl Shift i" - but this is incorrect, Ctrl + Shift + i is the shortcut to open dev tools, not inspect an element. Be good to remove this for the sake of clarification.

      Being able to assign a mouse gesture so that I can gesture over an element and immediately bring up its properties in Dev tools would be awesome. We already have gestures such as "Open a tab (over a link)" so presumably the functionality is all there already!

      @tmorton The inspect menu entry inspects the current element. This is a command called »Developer Tools«. The other command is called »Toggle Developer Tools« which opens devtools in picker mode (hover and click to inspect). Therefore you can assign a mouse gesture to »Toggle Developer Tools« and it will do what you want, with the addition of a single click and no context menu troubles. Personally I prefer using shortcuts. The wording in the menu can be argued, but you can easily change that yourself in vivaldi://settings/appearance.

      this is good - »Toggle Developer Tools«

      I looked at it but didn't look like it was what i wanted. have assigned to gesture and works as you say - that's cool.
