| Summary | 0028468: Some information is only displayed in tooltip when button moused over - you will miss this if using keyboard shortcuts | ||||
| Description | Title is a bit wordy, but take the following as an example: Your current unit cap for all units is shown when you mouse over the Forces sidebar icon on the top right (see screenshot 01). This shows you your current total and maximum capacity for each type of unit. This is great! But you only see it if you mouse over the button before you press it. If you use keyboard shortcuts (like you're encouraged to) you miss out on this information. (See 02) For this case, it would be good to see totals and per unit caps somewhere near each category (See 03 for a mockup) But this isn't the only case this applies too. Somewhere its done well is actually in the unit queue menu. The tooltip tells you that you have x available and y ready, and then the actual unit queue menu confirms this with a (Ready now) under each unit that's ready, and you can visually pick out the ones that aren't so there's less need for a counter (04 and 05). But having a total cap for each category displayed in the actual menu wouldn't go amiss either for the unit queues. The networks sidebar could also use the total number of subnets available (06) - again this is present in the mouse over tooltip but not in the menu itself. Sorry for the glut of different examples, but its all related to the same thing. In general, I'd like the same information to be accessible when using the keyboard to get to the menu as when hovering with the mouse over the corresponding button, for cases where it makes sense. | ||||
