hi,

commands could have tooltips,
so one could find about those rarely used without opening the config editor.

thanks.

    Hi,

    in Worker 4.4 there is a new help command which will show the assigned command for any button or hotkey, once enabled. In the default config this is bound to F9.

    I will also think about adding tooltips for the buttons.

    hi,
    here's things I have about the topic
    1.
    sometimes also with seeing a command I don't remember that it's supposed doing .

    something as an additionnal 'button hints' string/text in 'edit button' config would be useful.
    maybe displayed with status or clock bar would be cool.

    also without being displayed , as if sourcecode, comments/rem would be useful, also on command level

    2.
    sometimes distinguishing between multiple buttons variants require a long text that doesn't fit in the button display.
    having a way seeing the entire text could be useful, instead of my current cryptic acronyms.
    maybe floating tooltips
    or maybe icons....
    the new help command is some sufficient there though.

    thanks,

    It is nice to have tooltips popup. After a while however (when the tooltips are read several times), we usually find that there is no need to have it turned "on" at all time, because it also blocks the view of the buttons bar. Suggestion: it would be nice to have a config option to switch the tooltip popup feature "on" and "off".
