Description

Option to disable animation when inspecting components on the page with "Select component on the page" button.

It can be very distracting jumping between large number of components on the small area.

Maybe take into account reduced motion preference and also have a toggle to force this option (similar to dark/light mode toggle in settings).

I suppose this is related to vite-plugin-vue-inspector so it’s best to start there with setting which can be toggled via devtools?

Research direction

Start with the linked inspector feature documentation and vite-plugin-vue-inspector, then trace how the DevTools “Select component on the page” action controls its animation. Done means users can disable the animation through a DevTools setting, with reduced-motion behavior considered as described in the issue.
