Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/552

Current behavior

when hovering over some buttons, eg. the preferences button, there is a tooltip text shown, which is great.

boostnote1b

However for most other buttons, there is no tooltip text displayed to describe them. The most annoying button with no tooltip text is probably the Trash button, especially for someone like me with bad eyesight lol.

Please see the attached pictures below for some more examples of this.

boostnote1c

boostnote1d

boostnote1e

Expected behavior

when hovering over buttons that are unlabelled, it should display tooltip text to describe what the button does - especially if the button is unlabelled.

( if the button has an assigned shortcut key, it should also display that in the tooltip text. )

please see the attached example of tooltip text below (mozilla firefox)

boostnote1a

Steps to reproduce

Hover over any unlabelled button as shown in the images above

Environment

  • Boostnote version: 0.7.0
  • OS version and name: Windows 10 Pro x64
