Summary

Why? Sometimes you just want a refresh button in your devtools window instead of moving your hand from chin to keyboard for a cmd + R. Or maybe you're so deep into devtools with many windows open and you simply can't quickly navigate to the current inspected window.

this extension is cool but there is a really annoying thing with devtools, it comes back to 'Element' tab, it should stay on the tab selected

I've just installed this extension and it has been very useful so far. Love it!

Been helpful with developing extensions as when you are inspecting a popup closing it also closes the inspection window and you have to wait a moment with it closed to let it refresh the CSS and HTML. Just a really nice tool to stop me from being driven insane resetting my inspect window each time I make a minor CSS tweak. Would be cool if there was a refresh button in the tab as well as sometimes I won't always inspect the page in-between changes so you have to click off the tab and then back but that's a minor frustration all in all. Thanks for this one! :)
