Hi,

I often find it quite difficult to select the correct container when several are nested inside each other. This becomes especially tricky when all paddings are set to 0. Sometimes I need to resize 2, 3, or even more containers just to hit the right one — and not rarely this messes up my layout.

Is there a way to, for example, hold down a key on the keyboard while clicking with the mouse to always select the next outer container? That way one could simply click through until reaching the correct one.

Yes, click the menu View -> Show Element Browser, there you can select everything easily.

However, this is quite tedious if you use a lot of containers on a page, since you cannot name them.

For example, I have 50 or more containers on some pages. Some of these are nested within each other. Finding the right one using the element browser is very tedious.

You can set an ID for them - I think that also shows up in the element browser

But a problem I have: I select a div with the menu, and to open "HTML" I have to right-click on the div but then it always switches to another div. So I always need more than one try.

Greetings
Peter
