Tooltips #2909

Open ghost opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem or use case?

As a result of #2907, I would like to suggest an addition which would allow for avoiding any similar misunderstandings as I had. It is also worth noting that Tooltips have already been requested - #379 - so it might be worth reconsidering.

Describe the solution you'd like

If you hover a mouse cursor over a field/option it displays more details about it. Lots of info from FAQ/Help Topics could be moved directly into the application, including detailed explanations of SBIE Messages (errors).

This is my proof of concept. I did my best 😃 image and SBIE Messages tooltips tooltips2

Tooltips can indeed be helpful.

In my opinion, they should be quite short, so they can be read quickly.

Preferably, the options are labeled to be easy-to-understand, so that tooltips are not required in most instances. Important information should be visible to the user at all time, like when an option is critical to set.
