How can I copy all text in Chrome's "Elements" inspector?

I would like to copy all of the expanded code found in the "Elements" pane of Google Chrome's WebKit inspector to my clipboard. I'm on OS X.

Here is a screenshot of this pane (on the left side of the screen):

It appears that I am only able to select individual lines or sections, but not the entire text.

Solution

  • I've found the answer to my question. The solution is mentioned obliquely in parentheses in step one of the following answer:

    You have to right-click the topmost <html> element, and then click Edit as HTML.

    The full code will now exist in a standard, editable text field, where you can finally Select All and Copy the text contents to the clipboard.
