Control Explanation Via Mouse Hover?

Hi, so this is probably a ridiculous request and I'm not trying to compare to other software or anything so feel free to delete this if it's unwarranted, I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I'm FINALLY diving into Moho full force and I'm SUPER excited about it, but I'm more of a hands-on/trial-and-error type learner. CSP has been my main art software for about 10 years and they have this feature where if you hover over most things it gives you a little popup text explaining briefly what the tool/option/etc does. I know this would probably require a ton of work to incorporate, if it's even possible, but I'm mainly curious if anyone else would be interested in this feature or if it's just me (again, if it's even possible)

I'm open to hearing any thoughts on this, just please be nice ;v;
Thanks!

If you mean Tooltips, then Moho has them. Sometimes you need to click on the panel first - to remind Moho where the focus should be.

In addition to the tooltips on hover, each tool has more information in the tool status bar when selected.
Depending on your settings, the tool status bar is either at the top or bottom of the main window. I don't remember which is the default.

This week's tutorial on optimizing Moho talks about moving the tools info into the Tool Options area at around the 10:17 mark, and the previous tutorial on Vector Drawing (Part 1) has a chapter about the tools info itself at around the 6:17 mark.

Hovering over a tool will show you the tool's name, and if a shortcut is assigned to it, you'll see that, too.

Hope this helps.

Oof, I feel stupid now ;.; Thank you so much for the help! I genuinely didn't know, but I'm glad I do now!!

Edit: Just now saw the bar at the very bottom of the window XvX Thanks again
