The node path bar displays the path of
selected node if a single node has been selected
OR first selected node if a node range has been selected
OR node containing the caret otherwise (even if there is a text selection).
The path of a node is
the name of the element if the node is an element,
#text
for a text node,
#comment
for a comment node,
#processing-instruction
for a processing instruction node,
preceded by the path of its parent element.
The node path bar is a very convenient tool for selecting nodes, duplicating and deleting elements:
