Hi Chris,
Is "magnification" a property newly added to recent versions of BBEdit? I'm
still running version 9.6.3 and I suspect that's the case because I can't
find it in the program's AS Dictionary, but I'm not sure When I paste

You're right -- I was so focused on BBEdit + Firebug that I forgot all
about Chrome. Just tried it: Chrome's Network panel filters, and lets me

Much better than Firebug, for this purpose anyway. (I typically ignore
