No you can not edit inside the Inspector, but I thought your "use case" for it was to be able to more easily track down which css was active for which element. The Inspector can easily do that and you can edit in the CodeView window at the same time.

I simply can not see a strong case for a tree like collapsable structure for editing xhtml any more than I can see it used for writing structured programming languages. Indentation and whitespace does more to help in that regard than any editor feature. That is why we enabled the PrettyPrint option to indent code to allow the structure to be more easily seen.

I will think about it as a long term option but I think the combination of "PrettyPrint", the "Inspector", and "Open With" makes this a very very low priority need.

On the odd occasions I need it I prefer break out into an editor I know, such as Notepad++, Bowpad, or TabEdit Pro, do what I need to do there and return to Sigil ASAP.
