hotkeys and tooltips (lp:#1792159)
Original report created by staviq (staviq)
This is a feature request.
UI Button tooltips need to:
- Contain it's hotkey in the tooltip
- Have the same description in the tooltip, in the hotkey list, and the
menu.

Proposed change does not influence the workflow of experienced users, it
would however, be immensely helpful to all the newcomers, like me.
Currently, the tooltips in the ui don't even have the same names /
descriptions as in the hotkey list or the menu. This is really confusing
for someone trying to learn Kicad.
example:
tooltip "Route tracks", hotkey description: "Add new track"
or
tooltip "Add filled zones", menu item name "Place/Zone"
I believe this is very important feature missing from the project, even
though it seems like something trivial.
