Copying Code from Inspect Element in Google Chrome

Right click on the particular element (e.g. div, table, td) and select the copy as html.


In earlier versions of Chrome we could simply select and copy an element (with Ctrl+C or Cmd+C) and then paste it inside an element by selecting it and then paste (with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V). It's not possible in the latest versions though (I'm running Chrome 58.0.3029.110) and it has set me up many times since then.

Instead of using the commands for copy and paste, we now have to right click the element -> Copy -> Copy Element and then right click the element that we want to append the copied element to -> Copy -> Paste Element.

I don't understand why the short commands are deactivated but at least it's still possible to do it in a more inconvenient way.
