Default Feature Request: Floating "Tool Tips" in EuControl Settings

I appreciate that I'm just showing my age and ability (or lack thereof) to memorize constantly expanding software options, but I would love to have floating tool tips appear when you hover your pointer over a setting / preference in EuControl Settings.

No doubt this would be a big coding task (Or not? I have no idea.) but I think it would help to decipher the brief and sometimes too-vague description of the parameter and save having to crack open the PDF to remind myself what the setting does.

Maybe people hate floating tool tips...I can understand that. Maybe the appearance behaviour, itself, can be on a toggle?

Just a thought.

+1 but verbiage choices would be really important to make things clear, IMO.

Yep, we tried to add these a while back but ran into some technical issues. Looking at a different way to help with this.

Yeah, I'd say +100 for this. I mean, I need to look at prefs about every 2 months and when I do I always spend way too much time scratching my head thinking: WTH does "Open windows on workstation when knobs assigned from DAW click:" mean anyway?!? I know I'm supposed to have all this down, but...Tooltips would really help!
