Google-chrome – How to turn the Chrome Developer Tools element highlighting back on

google-chromekeyboard shortcuts

Somehow I turned off the highlighting in Chrome Developer Tools, so now when I select an element in the Elements panel, I don't see the element highlighted on the page. There must be a keyboard shortcut I pressed accidentally that toggles this. Does anyone know what it might be, or if there is some other way to turn the highlighting back on?

Best Answer

When you hover your mouse over the node (not select it) in the Elements panel, the corresponding element on the page should be highlighted.

If there were such an option to turn this behavior off, it isn't listed in the Keyboard Shortcuts. Also refer to Elements Panel for more information on how to inspect everything in the DOM tree.
