Pointer enhances Chrome's built-in element inspector with a persistent, intuitive DOM navigation tool that stays active while you work. Unlike the default DevTools inspector that turns off after selecting an element, Pointer keeps running so you can quickly inspect multiple elements without constantly reactivating the tool.
FEATURES
— Always-On Element Selection - Navigate the DOM using arrow keys or click to select elements. The pointer stays active between selections.
— Visual Box Model Display - See margin, padding, and content areas with color-coded overlays.
— Element Information - Hover over any element to see its tag name, dimensions, CSS classes, and behavioral badges (flex, grid, media, scroll containers and event listeners).
— Built-In Ruler - Hold Alt to see pixel distances between selected and hovered elements.
— DevTools Integration - Selected elements automatically sync with Chrome DevTools Elements panel. The inspector scrolls elements into view and maintains selection state when DevTools is reopened.
— Pass-Through Mode - Hold "`" (backtick) to temporarily interact with page elements normally while keeping the inspector active.
— DOM Manipulation - Cut, copy, paste, delete, and duplicate (Cmd/Ctrl+D) elements directly in the page. Full undo/redo support.
PRO FEATURES
— Inline Attribute Editor - Press "/" to add attributes, classes, and properties to selected elements without switching to the DevTools elements panel.
— JavaScript Console - Press ";" to execute JavaScript commands with the selected element as "this" context. Perfect for quick DOM modifications and debugging.
— Selector Search - Press "f" to enter find mode and highlight all elements matching a CSS selector in real-time.
