Positionable!
Description from store

Positionable is a developer tool that lets you quickly manipulate elements the way you would in an image editor. Familiar workflows like dragging, nudging, align/distribute, and undo make it simple to place elements exactly where you need them to be. Once you're ready, you can copy styles to the clipboard or save them to disk. Designed for rapid styling, prototyping, working with sprites, etc.

PLEASE POST ISSUES HERE (with demo if possible):
https://github.com/andrewplummer/Positionable/issues

By default, it works on absolute and fixed positioned elements, however you can set a CSS selector to target exactly the elements you're interested in. Static elements will be forced to position "relative".

When working with sprites, you can similarly use both the mouse and keyboard to move the background position. Alternatively, double clicking on the background will detect contiguous sprites and snap the element dimensions and background position to match.

Work with multiple elements by dragging to select or holding SHIFT. All selected elements will move together, and can be aligned or distributed just as in popular image editing software.

Other features like rotation, undo, z-index ordering, and background "peeking" make positioning elements a breeze!

Doesn't work and will crash Chrome.

Can't select anything useful, totally useless extension.

Horsina 2024-04-17

Looked promising but sadly it didn't work on any website I needed it to work on.

It will not let me select elements. I followed directions in the help page to drag select, but it doesn't let me select or move anything.

Kelvin Klopper 2023-07-22

Very difficult to work with and often doesn't even let you select the right elements. Takes ages to actually start up once you click the extension button.

I was able to move 1 element of a page but the other ones are not selectable (https://wise.com/account/)

This extension saved me a lot of time when I had to perfectly position a lot of divs on top of images. Also a few days ago I had a problem that the extension required an unnecessary permission. This was due to a bug in Chrome. The developer fixed the problem within one day and updated the extension. Thanks Andrew!

Looks well designed and very promising at first, but unfortunately didn't work on any site for me; not even a very simple one like example.org.

I haven't used this extension a lot, but it seems that it does what I need: move div regions over others and resize them. It is awesome. I would like to do the same in Firefox, I'm just wondering if a similar extension exists for that browser

HI dear Andrew! I loved the extension sooo much! However, since 1 or 2 months ago it started randomly not working. I haven't even installed anything new. Whenever i click it, it just doesnt open up. Not even the box on the bottom left corner that used to always be there isn't anymore. Can you please help? Thank you for an amazing extension! I hope it gets fixed!

Just what I needed, unfortunately it doesn't work. Spends a minute or so loading and then just freezes the tab.

This actually met my needs perfectly. Thank you for making this extension.

Mattan Ingram 2017-03-28

Great concept and really needed but doesn't adapt to how elements were positioned originally. I'm trying to edit elements that are absolutely positioned and sized with % and vw/vh units, not pixels, so the output code doesn't help. Also saving to file doesn't help if you are using SASS. If you can improve those two aspects this is easily one of the most useful development extensions available.

EVerything is available right now, including this one. But I'm having a problem that when I click on an element, which is circle btw, and then drag it, instead of moving it, it makes it big and distorts it. What I do is click it, and then use the arrow keys on my keyboard to "drag" it around. Why is the drag function on my mouse doesn't work?

I can't believe it doesn't support tag names in "output selectors". If an element has no ID and no class, selector will look like this: "[undefined element]". Also, it would be great if you could add support for generating styles without any selectors, so we can copy and paste style directly to html code as an inline style:)

Super Useful !! This is what I exactly want! But on some website it said: Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function positionable.js:1497 I'm encountering that issue on this website(and others). http://innobase.co.jp/ Hope you can fix it! Thanks!
