Not a dumb question at all! I was in the same boat last week.

For *how to use inspect element with keyboard*, here’s what worked for me in Chrome:

- F12 opens dev tools
- Tab cycles through top menus (Elements, Console, etc.)
- Once in Elements, arrow keys move up/down the tree
- Ctrl+F lets you search the DOM (super handy)

Also, if you’re on Windows, try NVDA or JAWS for screen reader support—they can help navigate dev tools too!
