For Windows. If developer tools is open in a separate window and you select an item on the page with ctrl+chift+c, the devTools window does not come into focus. This is not convenient when working.

Honza

The current workaround is to press the key shortcut for the toolbox, it will bring the devtools window back to front. We could either try to trigger that after picking an element, or do something closer to the webextension toolbox which is always on front.
