I made it so for all toolbar buttons.  For instance, Sync Lock with default
key bindings.

(no key) is a clue that it is possible to assign a key.

It used to be that only Transport toolbar buttons would indicate a
keystroke in parentheses in the tooltip.  Those would include "()" in case
of no key.  Somewhere in emails I think Gale agreed that what I did
improved on that.  See 2.1.2 behavior.

Strictly speaking space is for the Play/Stop command, while there are
distinct Play and Stop commands also available for keystroke assignment in
the Keyboard preferences.  We look up the keystrokes for those commands
when composing those messages.

You mean, when you choose the Key radio button, and type space in the
hotkey field, you see Play/Stop listed.  But not the separate Play and Stop.

Reassign those, and you will see the control toolbar tips change.
