            Bug ID: 171046
           Summary: Web Inspector: Hijacks Command-< to open preferences,
                    while it should be show next window
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari Technology Preview
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: spamfaenger at gmx.de
                CC: inspector-bugzilla-changes at group.apple.com

The web inspector hijacks the command-< shortcut which is the standard shortcut (in german macOS at least) to switch focus to the next window (while  command-> is focus to previous window).

This is quite annoying as it is the best shortcut to switch back and forth between the browser window that the inspector was opened from (if it was opened in a separate window) which is quite useful.

So, please use something less painful, and ideally don't rebind a key that is already used as a standard key by apple.
