1899704 - When inspecting some "pointer-events: none" elements in a page, pressing shift should change the behavior without waiting for mousemove

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect, P3)

Description

Attachment: layers.html

STR:

1. Open the attachment.
2. Open the Inspector devtool.
3. Click the "inspect element" button.
4. try to target the green square. => this doesn't work because it has pointer-events: none.
5. press shift without moving the mouse => still doesn't work
6. move the mouse just a little bit => now the green square is selected

IMO it should be selected at step 5 already.

BTW the same happens when releasing "shift".

Attachment: Bug 1899704 - [devtools] key(down|up) on Shift while picking should update the picker options immediately. r=#devtools-reviewers.

Holding shift allows to retrieve elements under the cursor, even the ones that
don't consume pointer events.
Pressing/releasing the Shift key will now update the highlighted node directly,
without the user moving the mouse again.
A test case is added to cover this behavior.
