| | 1 | = Tooltips convention = |
| | 2 | == General == |
| | 3 | * Every tooltip is a sentence that doesn't have a period at the end of a sentence. |
| | 4 | * If there is a shortcut connected with this action and the shorcut is not pointed in the control (as it is for the menu items for example) it should be written in parentheses. |
| | 5 | * For consistency, a tooltip should say "Do this" and NOT "Does this" when an action is performed |
| | 6 | * Exception is made only for controls that switch views - "This shows that functionality" |
| | 7 | == Clickable objects == |
| | 8 | * If an object can only be single clicked to perform an action, the tooltip should only point it's action. |
| | 9 | * If an object can be double, middle, right clicked and/or dragged, it's actions are listed in the following order |
| | 10 | * Click |
| | 11 | * Double click |
| | 12 | * Middle click |
| | 13 | * Drag |
