Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
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.
