&gt; There should be a way to select multiple elements in order to:
&gt; - copy them into clipboard
&gt; - delete them at a time
&gt; - edit matching properties ?

This barely makes sense, as DOM tree is not a plain data list with multiselection. Consider this tree:

&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;..&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;a href=&quot;...&quot;&gt;..&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Does selecting DIV and P at the same time make any sense? What should happen when you try to (a) copy this multiselection into a clipboard, (b) delete them? Depending on the user, the case (b) might imply that they don&apos;t want to delete the A element. Is that right and/or intuitively correct?

On a sidenote, Firebug does not allow multiselections in its DOM tree either.</thetext>
