webpages interact with EDGE highlight feature
EDGE has a nice feature where users can highlight text on a webpage, and then send a copy(?) of that webpage to other users, with the annotations on it. Edge also can do this now with PDFs. The next logical step, from my point of view as a developer, is to let webpage javascript get information from these highlights. For instance, lets suppose I use html 'frames tag' to host one webpage in another. My user highlights the page (or HTML) in that frame, and an event fires letting me capture the text that he highlighted. Conversely, if my code…

Allow copying computed CSS values
Currently, I only have the option to right click and choose Copy from the menu, which copies the whole `property: value` pair. I would like to be able to copy just the value so that I don't have to delete the `property: ` part every time.

Element highlighting on SVG elements
Support element highlighting on SVG elements. Currently, the blue outline of elements doesn't appear on SVG elements, which makes it difficult to debug display issues of SVGs.

ReactJS (and possibly Redux) tooling
I would love to see some tooling surrounding ReactJS development. While I believe that on your competitors (Chrome/Firefox) these were developed by the community (or the vendor themselves...FB). I would love to see a CTA by Microsoft for this to be developed possibly following the example of Taylor Otwell surrounding his CTA to have Vue.js testing abilities added to the library.
Granted if Microsoft were to build the tools that would be amazing, but I don't think (in the day and age where Microsoft is so open source) that Microsoft calling on the community for a specific task should be…

In debugger, fix inspecting variables in mapped source code
When I'm debugging mapped source files and I hover over variable, I want to see the variable value.
Let's say I have ES2015 or TypeScript souce code, babelified, minimized and browserified. In chrome I can debug the original source code and inspect the variables. I would love to see it in Edge too.

Bind Ctrl+P to open a file/command
Change the Ctrl+P to show a GoTo/Command terminal. Pretty much what VSCode does.

GPS override in F12 should support geo-location of an actual address
The GPS override in F12 requires GPS coordinates which are a nuisance to look up. There should be an edit control that uses the Bing Maps APIs to map any address or valid location name to GPS coordinates that get used. This way someone could enter an address such as "One Microsoft Way, 98052" and have this work.

User agent selection in F12 should be improved
The F12 tools should improve how the user-agent override is exposed in two ways.
For Custom, the edit control is too tiny. It should be a large, even multi-line control with wrap. The existing control is too small to see any reasonable user-agent.
For all other selections, F12 doesn't display the value used. My suggestion is to all use the same multi-line control suggested above but that the control is read-only when any value other than custom is selected. Make sure that it is read-only but not disabled so that users can select and copy the value that will be…

Put the console.log source at the same line on the topright corner
When you do a console.log("hello"), then the text "hello" will be outputted to the console, and then there will also be outputted a "source-link" below that line which can take you to the sourcecode and line of where that console.log was executed.
So if you do 5 console.log, then there will be 10 lines because of the source-link
Can you put the source-link to the right or top-right corner on every log, because that would save many lines and be more readable.
That is was Chrome does.

Export current debugging session & DOM html markup to file
We need an option to export current debugging session to file so we can debug it locally...
E.g. Export currently loaded html page to file,
Export currently loaded DOM to file,
with loaded CSS and Javascript,
Inc current session cookies for offline useSo we can debug issues locally offline and also supply to third parties so they can reproduce bugs which exist on production and are hard to replicate

Custom docking of developer tool area
Please allow to dock the dev tools to the side of the window. Also, allow for a separate tab row for and pinned tabs for JavaScript files (like in Visual Studio)
This small thing would go a long way for many developers on Edge!
Thanks!

Update the Dev tools...
I want to simply add border-bottom as a CSS attribute to test an issue i have, however it does not allow me to do that.
( border-bootm, border-left, border-right, and border-top ) @ add to list...
I have managed to do it by typing: border-bottom and then clicking out of it.
However the option in the drop down should contain this attribute.
