Edit on-the-fly a webpage like FF addin scrapbook - hidden shortcut

Featured Replies

Few years ago (I think with IE v.6 or so) I was evaluating Scrapbook, a great addin for FireFox, to edit and capture parts of the webpage.

In doing this, I came across with a very great tip for IE (someone was asking: what have we for IE?):

With a shortcut (a key combination) it was possible to edit text and remove images, or part of the webpage, just as it was seen in the main IE window, so that it could be printed or copy and past as we pleased.

I cannot remember or recall, that shortcut. I just remember that when I used, I said: Wahoo, that's really great. Incredible.

Searching now, I did not find anything. Just to repeat: it was not View/Source. It ws not Open in the Development tool (in IE 8). It was just a shortcut that make the page in the window with the boxes of text and images highlighited, and that could be edited (text), or removed (images).

Does someone is able here to recall that magical shortcut, and if it is still working in the current IE editions?

Many thanks in advance

PS: in my search I found a IE Addin (printee for IE) that does something similar, but not quite as clean as it was the forgotten shortcut.
