I think the devel module already does this, but in a tab of any node view. This functionality would probably be better integrated into the devel module if it's a developer-specific task.

This module looks to me like it is more of an Admin module than a developer module, admins don't need as many utilities as a developer, and this module is more light weight.

@Bevan: The point of this module is to allow a user to view the information about a node *without* having to click on any Devel-created tabs. Also, you don't necessarily want to give certain users access to Devel -- or even run Devel on a production site, period!

This is not at all a developer module. As jrglasgow explains above, this module is intended for mid-level users (editors, moderators, writers, etc.), providing them at-a-glance information about the node they're currently viewing.

Use case: To find the NID of a node, an editor/webmaster/maintainer of a site that uses URL aliases (and most do) has to hover over its "edit" button, note the NID in the URL path as displayed in the status bar of their browser, and type it somewhere else. With this module, they see the NID in plain view, and can copy it to the clipboard.

Thanks. I'm sure your description here will help users understand the usage for this module. you might like to add some of this info to your project page.
