Export CSS changes from inspector (webkit, firebug, etc)

When I'm working with CSS, I'll often test in a browser - say, Chrome - right click an element, click Inspect Element, and edit the CSS right there. The use of arrow keys to change things like margin and padding makes lining things up super easy.

It's not too hard to then take those changes and apply them to the CSS file, but it would be cool if I could just right click the selector in the inspector and select "export" or "copy", and have the contents available in my clipboard.

Does something like this exist?

I have found the answer to this, at least as of Chrome v14.

While in the Elements section, just click on the "filename:linenumber" link next to the CSS rules. The CSS file that shows up will contain all of the modifications.
