F12 Developer Tools: Add font settings option
I feel the DOM Inspector font as being too large when I'm debugging web pages having a number of windows (incl. web page and F12 window) spread across the screen. In the restricted space available for the F12 window (particularly when it's docked to the bottom of the browser window) I can hardly get to see three lines of HTML.
So, please add a Font Settings option to F12DT so I can choose a smaller font size for DOM inspector and other F12DT panels, resp.
And please add a Boolean option for disabling word wrap in DOM inspector.

Automatically open dev tools for a new tab prior to opening the site.
When working with links that open in a new tab, I have to start the dev tools after the site starts loading for that tab. If I have dev tools open in the previous tab then start dev tools in the linked tab so I get the initialization. Starting the dev tools after the tab starts means the tools aren't running when that site loads. Add it as an option in the about:flags page.

Emulation: Throttle CPU
This feature would extend the emulation tool to enable throttling of the CPU to emulate situations where the page is running on a low CPU device. The emulation is not perfect (e.g. it wouldn't emulate diff instruction sets) but would help in giving a more real world experience for lower powered devices (desktop and phone).

Accessibility Tool: Smart Help
This feature would use some rule checking against the acc tree and properties to point out potential issues. For example when an img is missing a name (say because of a missing alt attribute) or a labelledby is pointing to an invalid node etc.

Add "Disable JavaScript" option in Developer Tools
To locate bugs, it would be great to be able to disable JavaScript via Developer Tools. A button in the Debugger tool bar, for instance.

Don't remove combined files after loading source maps
Currently in the debugger, after the source maps are loaded, the combined javascript files are removed from the source tree which makes following up production stack traces challenging.
Firefox has a similiar problem https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1301331

Add the 'copy' console API to copy variable contents to clipboard
Firefox and all webkit-based browser have a 'copy' function injected into the console, which can be used to copy the content of any variable currently in the console to the clipboard. I recently discovered this in Opera, and it's become a very handy functionality. Please add this to Edge too.

Allow me to tell Edge where to look for Source files
If Edge cannot find source files from map.js, the debugger becomes worthless. It does not allow me to easily Show the js files nor does it ask me, where to look for the original source files in the file System.
Chrome solves this a Little bit better by allowing me to define a Workspace. You should enable something similar.3 votes -
Add option to Edit and Resend the HTTP request
When using the Network tab in Edge Developer Tools, it would be cool to have Edit and Resend request option (something similar to what Firefox offers).

Reposition the Find text box near the DOM Explorer / Debugger window
The find text box is aligned in the top right corner next to the CSS, it's un-intuitive and should be nearer to the DOM inspector window

An Edge Extension that allows developers to create HTTP REST calls
As a SharePoint and web developer, I often have to create and troubleshoot HTTP REST calls. I would like to manipulate the querystring, headers and body as well as use different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and see the results.

Support the ability to export CSV data from performance/ui responsive traces from the F-12 tools
Often time customers want to see how often a particular thing occurred in the timeline. Like document.createElement(). Manually counting these on large web pages or highly graphical ones can be nearly impossible.
What would be useful in order to better support IE and Edge and thus reduce the escalations to EE's would be the ability to export to a CSV or excel so that we could actually run count() functions on particular elements or occurrences.

F12 developer tools memory analysis allow copying the columns as text
This should be pretty straight forward, but I would really like to be able to copy text from the F-12 developer tools when working with memory snapshots.
It makes it easier to paste it later when I hit control-f in the debugger later.
Right now I can take screen shots, and then I end up having to type out really long class names, or IDs which I could misspell.
