Tooltips convention
General
- Every tooltip is a sentence that doesn't have a period at the end of a sentence.
- 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.
- For consistency, a tooltip should say "Do this" and NOT "Does this" when an action is performed
- Exception is made only for controls that switch views - "This shows that functionality"
Clickable objects
- If an object can only be single clicked to perform an action, the tooltip should only point it's action.
- If an object can be double, middle, right clicked and/or dragged, it's actions are listed in the following order
- Click
- Double click
- Middle click
- Drag
separated by semicolumn
