Steps to reproduce:

I know my title is unclear (feel free to change it) but…

I would like to be able to activate the mode when you hover a node in the inspector, it shows the margin, padding, etc. I would like to be able to activate it even if I don't hover the node.
I've been talking about this several times in the recent past with various people (I think there are other bugs on file, not sure) and I agree this is useful.
We should stick an new "lock highlighter" option in the context menu.
