Safari Technology Preview web inspector

The new web inspector in Safari Technology Preview Release 103 (Safari 13.2, WebKit 14610.1.7.3.2) has a vary narrow mouse click target for search. The search widget is the penultimate element on the far right side of the web inspector toolbar. Compare the STP screenshot from Safari Technology Preview with the screenshot from Safari 13.1, in which web inspector search has a significantly wider mouse click target.

There is a keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+F). That should be in the tooltip (it looks like it is not right now).

Devin just added tooltips in:

I'm not sure if there will be a UI change to make the button larger again, but the keyboard shortcut should alleviate some concerns.

I knew there was a keyboard shortcut, but I tend to forget the shortcut because it involves multiple modifier keys, not simply cmd-f. Keyboard shortcuts are a supplement to and not a replacement for clickable user interface elements.
