Copy Rule Declaration
Copy Style Declaration
when right-clicked on the CSS rules in the right side window you get these two options on top and just click Copy and it copies entire rule with all properties. On Firebug it even modifies it in your clipboard to meet all CSS rule standards and when you just paste it to your CSS file all nice formatted, it really helps working with a lot of CSS.

This is the only feature and reason I'm still stuck with Firebug. This feature would save tons of hours for me writing and debugging thousands of lines of CSS.

Cheers

Can you clarify on what precisely is missing?

I can select stuff in the rules tab in the inspector and Ctrl+C, and paste the selected rules.
I can also click the link in the upper right and copy/paste from the stylesheet.

Yes, but to do that you need to drag mouse and select entire rule with properties first to be able to copy. In Firebug you don't need to drag your mouse, you just hover over Rule and Copy Rule Declaration, or just copy the style of the rule skipping the rule name. Firebug detects what you want to copy and doesn't need any dragging and selecting (like e.g. select text, so you mark it with mouse). With your tweaks it adds this command 'Copy Selection', so if you hover over the rule and click that - nothing happens, because you have to drag your mouse first on selecting the entire thing to make Copy Selection work which is time wasting, sadly. I'm just looking for this exact shortcut to work like in Firebug and I'll be able to transfer to dev tools from Firebug for good. Not just me actually, many designers are stuck with Firebug just because of this little feature missing.
