Help Tip
A help tip provides short but useful information about
actions
represented by
buttons,
menus items
and other user interface elements.
Help tips become visible when hovering
the mouse cursor over a UI element
for a short moment. A small yellow box appears containing a description
regarding the action available through this element.
Help tips are sometimes called tool tips.
You can also activate extended help tips for a more detailed description of the action you are hovering over.
