The other day I meant to press a particular key combination (can’t remember what now) and I fat-fingered it and got this cool screen ruler that would stretch as I dragged the mouse and measure the pixels of anything on the screen. To my knowledge I haven’t installed anything with that feature. Does anybody know how I can get that back?
