Thank you, exactly what I need. I have my keyboard keys mapped to other functionality, so getting to the option through the inspection tool is a pain. This is much simpler.

Love it. I can't remember the keyboard shortcut and I like this better anyways. I use this countless times a day while developing and it is a major quality of life improvement. It's pretty sweet that you can customize the button too.

Kinda works but there is no KEYBOARD SHORTCUT settings for this. (Example, I'd like to have a shortcut something like Ctrl+Shift+R or Shift+F5). Hence the only way to trigger this is by manually clicking the button/icon everytime.
