Hi,
Recently I discovered that quite a number of users are not aware of mnemonic hotkeys for tools. That is, looking at tools tooltips they only see Fn hotkeys (SVN version doesn't show even them) and they have no idea that mnemonic keys are available. And they don't read http://inkscape.org/doc/keys.html especially since it's not available offline.
Thus the question: in case we will still show hotkeys in tooltips in stable 0.47, should we show both?
E.g.
"Create 3D boxes (<b>Shift+F4</b>, <b>x</b>)
or
"Create 3D boxes (<b>Shift+F4</b> or <b>x</b>)

I think this was discussed a few versions ago. Of course feel free to add both, using "or" because a comma may be confusing.

Tried that, and <b></b> markup doesn't work for tooltips :-/

There is an ongoing problem that in one context the markup is supported, but in another it is not. If we try to use a single source string for two display areas (tooltips and status, perhaps), then problems are encountered.

I believe that there is a "new GTK tooltip" than can do all kinds of fun enhanced things. (thing really large and obnoxious) But, in this case I think switching would allow for the bold to work properly.

Not sure if it's really new. GIMP has markup in tooltips for quite a long time. I'll have a look at that, thanks :)
