Description Vivek Galatage 2012-08-06 02:34:33 PDT 
It would be nice to have navigation keys ( <- back & forward -> ) on inspector to quickly browse through the panels.

Most of the times, when the developer visits a particular panel, then some of the options like clicking on a link taking to source panel, or clicking something like "reveal in n/w panel" will take the navigation to other panel. By providing the navigation keys, it would be easier to browse these panels.

Ctrl+Alt+] / [ would do that.

Thank you Pavel. Glad to get your feedback. How about showing the UI controls for the same? Or do you think it would clutter the UI layout?

Yes, they will definitely clutter the UI.

Also I learnt from Alexander, that this has issues with non-US keyboard layouts (basically, it won't work on French, Czech, German etc. keyboards that have conflicting keypresses required to enter certain punctuation characters). So any suggestion from you about supporting these?
