Inspect Mode

Inspect mode is the default mode in Calipers. When active, hovering over any element

on the page reveals its exact width and height in a floating dimension label.

How it works

  • Activate Calipers (⌘⇧M) — Inspect mode starts automatically.
  • Hover over any element on the page.
  • A glassmorphic label appears showing width × height in pixels.
  • Click the label to copy the measurement to your clipboard.
  • Box Model Overlay

    Press B (or toggle in the popup) to enable the box model overlay. This adds

    colour-coded layers showing:

    • Content — the element's content box (blue)
    • Padding — padding area (green)
    • Border — border area (amber)
    • Margin — margin area (coral)

    Values are read from window.getComputedStyle(), so they reflect the actual

    rendered layout — not the CSS source values.
