Oh man, I feel you! Navigating dev tools without a mouse is a pain at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a game-changer.

After hitting F12, try Ctrl+Shift+C to toggle the element picker—this lets you *highlight* elements on the page just by hovering (well, keyboard-navigating lol).

For tabs, Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ cycles through them. And if you’re in the Elements tab, arrow keys let you expand/collapse nodes.

Bonus: Check out this [shortcut cheat sheet](https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/shortcuts) for Chrome. Lifesaver for learning how to use inspect element with keyboard!
