One thing I miss from the DOM Inspector addon is the ability to cut/paste (via keyboard shortcuts, even) nodes in the DOM tree.  This is especially useful when those nodes have large subtrees under them, such that using the "edit as HTML" feature becomes pretty difficult.
See also bug 968241 which aims at using the copy shortcut to copy the node's outerHTML.
At cut-time, we could also store a reference of the node (probably the NodeActor ID) and try and insert the corresponding node in the newly selected parent on paste.
