@jeff Thanks for the post. I'll note that the tooltip+shift+click to edit is not what #27403 is proposing. On the contrary, tooltip+shift+click on elements is something that has been in core since widgets were added to the customizer in 3.9. It was later implemented for nav menu items as well. In 4.5 this was expanded to any element that implements the selective refresh interface, so commonly the site title, tagline, and custom logo. The ticket is all about figuring out a good theme-compatible solution for discovering editable elements. The reason why the tooltip with tooltip+shift+click was added is that it is compatible with virtually all themes. The UI that the Customize Direct Manipulation plugin introduces adds the needed discovery, but it has the challenge of theme compatibility. So yeah, we're trying to find a good solution to upgrade the existing tooltip+shift+click behavior in core. The Customize Direct Manipulation plugin is one such solution.
