Feature Request: Goto Rendered CSS While Using Source Maps

[pedr....@gmail.com]

When using source maps (with Sass) I can Cmd-click on a property to see the Sass line responsible for its generation, however I often find I would like to view the generated CSS for a line (particularly for looking at optimising Sass and looking at context). 

It would be great to have an alternative shortcut to click on a property and view the generated CSS for that property.

Good idea. 

I think there might be room to explore exposing the mapping visually like http://sokra.github.io/source-map-visualization/

GWT did some research in this area before, basically allowing you to toggle between two views. (Their usecase was more breakpoint debugging.) Screenshot: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/AciYsnhUjj5QujtVVPP75OF-7dWxgoISDk6_rZrUlZHeSujCsJe4p_FnuwL0TsPCZBXFP1q8oA=s640-h400-e365-rw

Our preprocessed CSS workflow could use some improvement. More concretely, we want to make sure you get the nice edit/iterate workflow with the styles pane even when your authored css is in Sass, Stylus, etc. 

We can definitely do this split-pane mapping view to indicate the relationship, but I'm also thinking there may be a more direct way. Something to think about: how would you like to iterate/tweak styles during development with sass and devtools? What would the style pane behavior be like?  Cmd-click is a fallback plan but I bet we can come up with a more immediate UX.

Cheers

Sorry for the nearly-year-late bump but did this go anywhere? Definitely a feature I'd love to see, can't find mention of it anywhere so I don't know if it just fell by the way side or just isn't documented or is accepted and waiting for an implementation.
