Per-key tooltips

[rpnfan]

Add option to allow entering a tooltip in the Agent GUI for mapped keys and as well for macros, to be displayed in Agent. See the forum post https://forum.ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/t/feature-request-allow-adding-notes-to-key-mappings-in-agent/744/6?u=rpnfan

I think this feature is too niche and isn't worth the effort and the extra UI space, but I keep it open so others can see and upvote it.

I vote for this feature in the agent. It would it be nice to have something like that, I tend to forget what the purpose was being for, when I create a macro after certain time. It could work very well to keep our macros in order.

Oh yes, please please please add something like this!!! ❤️ I configure my keyboard only once every few months and when deciding which rarely used mapping to replace with a new one or how to re-order existing mappings such notes would help a ton!

I'm ready with the specification.

Notice the button leftward of Cancel. It's a toggle button containing the note Font Awesome icon. When toggling it on, the note field appears:

• Make the note field two rows large by default and enlarge it as the user adds more lines.
• Display a tooltip when hovering over the note button containing "Add a note to this key." vs "Remove note." according to its state.
• Make the toggled/untoggled state of the note button visible.
• Reduce the vertical space between the Modifiers and Secondary role rows so it's the same as between the Scancode and Modifiers rows.

• Place the triangle marker underneath the rendered key mapping so it won't cover the mapping.
• Rendering the triangle on non-rectangular keys will be tricky. I suggest specifying an (x,y) translation and rotation for the affected keys in the SVGs to be used by Agent.
• When hovering a key that contains a note, show its note in a tooltip.
