Description David Simonek 2004-10-13 12:55:06 UTC 
More info here, section
C-http://ui.netbeans.org/usability/ws_study/#conclusions

Recommendation: To show name of view (Source View,
Design View) with assigned shortcut
(ALT+SHIFT+LEFT or ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT) in tooltip
above toggle buttons.

Implementation (pending): Tooltip should probably
be constructed from multiview item tooltip +
shortcut info. Shortcut info should be added by
multiview module itself, because it will be
directly handling this shortcut.

Dusan, it's unclear to me how the tooltips shall handle shortcuts in
case when there's more than 2 editors? the shortcuts are more
iterative than bound to a certain element.
Comment 2 dpavlica 2005-01-13 13:20:30 UTC 
I suggest to have the following tooltips for views:

Toltip for Source toggle button: Source View (Alt+Shift+Left or Alt+Shift+Right)
Toltip for Design toggle button: Design View (Alt+Shift+Left or Alt+Shift+Right)
