From what I have seen, a common workflow is to get the styles looking right in a style inspector and then select and copy that rule out into an editor.

Currently, that is not possible with our rules view. What users expect from other tools (Firebug, Chrome) is that they can select and copy the rule.

It would be a nice bonus if they could copy a rule or individual property/value from the context menu.

Attached patch Copy from rule & computed views (obsolete) — Splinter Review
It is expected that in the rule view dragging the mouse to select text is going to be difficult because focusing a node opens a property editor ... nevertheless, it is working fairly well.

So, the patch adds the following copy methods:
1. Click and drag to select text, ctrl+c or context menu to copy (rule & computed views).
2. Context menu copy rule (rule view).
3. Context menu copy property (rule view).

It works very well. I am reviewing the code and in the meantime, here are some notes about the general behavior:

× Don't add an extra "\n" between the lines when several lines are selected in the computed view
× In "Copy Rule", a "\n" should be inserted before the last bracket.
× Is it possible to not include the "file:line" reference when we select text in the Rule View?

Copy from rule & computed views

Review of attachment 602928 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a first pass. This patch looks a little more complicated that I expected, but it's totally justified. I am happy with the global approach.
Here are some comments about the code and the general feature (see comment 4 as well).

-- Behavior:

The Computed View menu should have more items: "copy value", "copy property name", "copy declaration line".
The cursor in the Computed View should be a text cursor, and clicking a line should not expand it. Only clicking on the twisty should expand the declaration.

-- Tests:

And can we get some tests? The feature I'd like to see tested:
- copy of the different parts of the declarations, make sure the reformating works well.
- make sure we can always use the mouse the select the rule view as plain text,

One already is ... this is what I get back from "copy rule":
#container .text {
    font-family: fantasy;
}

Are you saying that you want an extra blank line before the closing brace? If you are then I disagree. If you get something different than what I get (worried look), then please let me know what you are getting.

I can add "Copy property", "Copy property name" & "Copy property value" but I am unsure what you mean by "copy declaration line". I think that the only ones that make sense for the computed view are these ones.

I have also added these to the rule view ... now we have:
Rule view:
- Copy selection
- Copy rule
- Copy property
- Copy property name
- Copy property value

Computed view:
- Copy selection
- Copy property
- Copy property name
- Copy property value

Most use UA sniffing (even in the fx codebase), Orion checks current line endings and falls back to UA sniffing. All of them use \r\n for windows boxes and \n otherwise. In my opinion getting nsIXULRuntime.OS to identify the OS makes a heckuvalot more sense.

The computed view had no in-content stylesheet until bug 705276 is fixed (Split style inspector CSS between content & document CSS) ... I have upped it's priority to P2.

I got something like that in the past:

#container .text {
    font-family: fantasy;}


But I can't reproduce :/

I still see some reference: http://i.imgur.com/q6M6d.png
I think you should just make the source not selectable in CSS (using -moz-user-select) (I am not 100% sure about this).

Other comment:

ctrl-a + ctrl-c copies should copy a formatted version of the CSS (right now, it's one single line with the file reference.

declaration == property + property value.
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/syndata.html#declaration
As this is not a commonly known term, I think adding "line" at the end makes it a little more understandable.

Can you also make sure the right element is focused then?
When I click on a property, I want the twisty of their common parent
to be focused.

Interesting that it copied without whitespace before the } ... I have changed the regex to cover this if it happens again.

Unfortunately, doing it that way means that you can't drag the mouse across the text if you start from one of these headers. In fact, setting moz-user-select: none made selection really hard to use. We just need to use regexes for this kind of thing.

It is an official term so I don't think we should shy away from using it. Copy declaration is fine.

So now we have:

- Copy property value

Computed view:
- Copy selection
- Copy declaration
- Copy property
- Copy property value

Looks good. r- because of some nits and the behavior issues.
I haven't read the tests yet.

Mousedown then drag from a property value will start the edit-mode. We should prevent that.
Selecting a range, then click on a value start the edit-mode. We should just un-select the range.

That might be difficult with the current code.  I think we should worry about that as a followup, there's still value in this patch if we can't fix that today.

Agreed.

We've been asked by browser reviewers to use this pattern during superreviews, but CssRuleView does it the way paul is suggesting.  Let's go for file consistency for now (in CssRuleView use foo = foo.bind(), I don't know the file style for CssHtmlTree).

CssRuleView at least, tends toward handler-per-event.  Mike can use his judgement on that one.

The original dev used onFocus to trigger the property editors, which seemed like a good idea at the time. This meant that clicking them with a mouse or tabbing to them would trigger the editors. It also meant that he could easily auto focus the next element to get the editor behavior that he wanted. Changing this is a bigger job than we need right now so I have logged bug 734365 for this.

Agreed, but we can't change this until bug 734365 is fixed.

Because most of the events I am adding are command listeners. If event.type == "command" for 5 out of 6 of the events then things would get ugly. Beside, Dave said that I can use my judgement on this one.

It does for almost every line. I have corrected the comment to "// Remove any double newlines" as it wasn't quite correct.

Not directly. The computed view's event listeners don't leak at all because the document is destroyed by the destroy() method where we remove all listeners that are attached to XUL elements. In fact, most of the computed views listeners are added by DOM Templater so we can't remove them. There are no leaks though, I have already checked that.

I don't add any in CssRuleView but have stuck with the style used in inspector.jsm

I need to fix browser/browser/devtools/styleinspector/test/browser_ruleview_focus.js because of oranges before we land this.
Attached patch Fixed orangesSplinter Review
Fixed issue with rule view focus test and windows clipboard differences.

Now all green on try.

l10n doubt: why do you need two sets of identical strings (e.g. style.contextmenu.copyselection and rule.contextmenu.copyselection)?

I'm trying to think of a reason but I don't find any (this strings don't refer to names, so there's no problem with gender, plurals, etc.).

The 2 strings are for 2 completely different tools. I suppose it would solve a lot of confusion if we split the strings into 2 different files but the one file should be okay for now.
This feature is now mentioned:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Tools/Page_Inspector/Style_panel#New_features_in_Firefox_13

And listed on Firefox 13 for developers.
In Nightly (Fx 15) I attempt the following:

Inspect an element
Click on a css property value in the Rules View
Press Command+C

Result: nothing happens. When I right click, the option "copy selection" is disabled. Why is this?
You need to drag over text to select it. It would be possible to get copy working in property editors within the rule view.

If you create a new bug and CC me I can do that.
This is broken in Firefox 22+ currently - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=879603
