   Good point.   
      
   Given there are essentially only 2 web browser code bases for Windows,   
   every Win10 browser will likely be sharing either Mozilla or Chromium code.   
      
   From Carlos' statement, we can presume Mozilla browsers use the Control+U.   
   Does the Chromium code base have a similar "Control+U" single edit step?   
      
   I just tested it and it comes up similarly to Firefox, but read only.   
       
      
   Apparently the way Chromium does in-place modern editing is this:   
    1. Open Developer Tools:   
    2. Press Ctrl+Shift+I (or F12) on your keyboard.   
    3. Navigate to the "Elements" panel:   
    4. Right-click on the element you want to edit in the "Elements" panel.   
    5. Select "Edit as HTML" from the context menu.   
      
   That looks like more than a single step to me though.   
   And, of course, that HTML editor doesn't seem to use regular expressions.   
      
   Bear in mind, just being able to use the mouse and keyboard to edit complex   
   html code is not really editing. It's more like plucking letters on & off.   
      
   For modern editing, you need some sort of HTML editor that works with   
   regular expressions - but I don't know of any user-friendly HTML editor.   
      
   Do you?   
   Does anyone?   
      
   Q: What's a free HTML editor that can be used with regular expressions?   
   A: ?
