Info Tooltips

Hello Timothy,

It's been awhile since I have mess with macros and I think a great idea to improve the user experience is to add tooltips with info on what each section does within GSE.

The reason is cause I forgot what some of these things do like a simple "keypress" or "premacro" (I have an idea but it could be more clear) and a bunch others instead of going back and forth trying to find the definition of each on the site or online, it can be there in a tooltip.

Like for example mouse over "Step Function" and brief info tooltip comes up explaining each what they do in the simplest form. Or if it can't be done by mouse over, then a small "?" question mark beside or some sort of info icon to click or mouse over to get the tooltip.

I wanted to even suggest like a small intro tutorial on how to create your first macro if no macros are found: It either highlights new or import, etc... But I don't think is as important as having info tooltips everywhere.

Like I said it has been awhile since I actually play, I apologize if maybe you already have had this and I might of overlooked.

There are better video creators who have made how to use GSE but the tooltips I can do - it will be a bit of work but will get it done.

That appears when you hover your mouse over all the elements.

It makes sense to put them at the top always on the same location rather than floating all over the place. You made it even better!

Awesome, thanks again Timo!

In GSE 2.6.52, I have noticed that some tooltips are displayed at the top while others are at the bottom (anda also: tooltips on the Options window follow the mouse cursor). I don't know if this difference is on purpose, but it's not really annoying.

Timothy, have you planned (for GSE 3) to make all tooltips appear next to the mouse cursor?

The other part to this is that if the tooltip is tied to the mouse it means you can’t see what you are typing as the tooltip appears over the box.
