Google Chrome: keyboard shortcut to view Resources / Inspect Element?

Google Chrome has a Firebug-like feature where you click on a page element and choose "Inspect Element".

I am always jumping into the Resources view to look at HTTP requests.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to open this tool?

I just discovered that Ctrl + Shift + I and Ctrl + Shift + C works. Just like Firebug.

On OS X, that's Command + Option + I or Command + Shift + C.

actually holding N and right-clicking somewhere on the page opens the inspect window and takes you to the piece of code where you clicked on in tnnnnnnnnhe page. i just found this out.

Ctrl + Shift + I opens the developer tools, to the last section you were in. If you were last in the Resources section then you will see the Resources.

I don't think there is a keyboard short cut specifically for Inspect Element, as this depends on context (ie. the location of the mouse)?
