Try pressing ctrl+shift+c . This will open the dev tools in element selection mode, allowing you to left-click on elements to jump straight to them in the elements view.
In this article, we're looking at IE11 and one way to access Inspect Element is to press F12 on your keyboard. The Document Object Model (DOM) Explorer is active by default, and you can click on the “Select Element” icon on the top left corner.
How to Inspect Elements. To inspect elements you have to right-click any part of a webpage and click Inspect > Inspect Element. Alternatively, you can press Command+Option+i on your Mac or F12 on your PC to do the same. Every modern web browser has a native tool for inspecting elements.
One of the easiest ways to inspect a specific web element in Chrome is to simply right-click on that particular element and select the Inspect option. Clicking on the Inspect option from the right-click menu will directly open the Developer tools including the editor, Console, Sources, and other tools.
IE Developer Tools provides a "click to select" tool - for free.
See Getting Started with the F12 Developer Tools (IE9/10) and look for "Select element by click":
The Find menu has only one item, Select element by click. You can enable this feature from the menu item, by clicking the Select clement by click button Picture of Select Element by Click button or by pressing Ctrl+B.
By enabling this feature, you can choose an element on a webpage by clicking the element on the page. After the element on the webpage is clicked, a border is drawn around the element. If the HTML tab is open, the left pane will scroll to highlight the selected element.
The properties pane (right pane) displays the properties of the selected element, according to the current property type that you have chosen (Style, Trace Styles, Layout, or Attributes). If the HTML tab isn't currently open, using Select element by click selects the element and automatically switches focus back to the HTML tab. Select element by click is only enabled until you click an element.
For IE 11, see Diagnose and fix layout problems. The "click to select" still works the same, including the Ctrl+B shortcut, but the developer UI has changed.

On IE8 and above you can get the Developer Toolbar by pressing F12, and then Ctrl+B (or click the pointer) to inspect an element.
