Is it possible to put the tool name in the tooltips? Or are the names of the tools already revealed within Inkscape in a way that I have overlooked?
They are all named in the keys and mouse reference, but it's indeed a good idea to add these names to the tooltips, for example in the form:
<Tool name>: <Whatever the tooltip says now>
Feel free to provide a patch for this :)
What about: <Tool name>: <Description> (<Fn based shortcut> | <Letter based shortcut>)
Indeed I find the letter based shortcut easier to use (Fn keys are difficult to reach on a laptop keyboard, particularly Apple's, but well, that may be just me) and, more importantly, easier to remember (since there is no direct mapping between the position of the tool in the toolbar and the appropriate Fn key anymore, these are difficult to remember, while letter based shortcuts are usually more like mnemonics).
