These tooltips are far too long IMHO. Tooltips should be short and
snappy reminders :
"Remove the selected citation"
"Sort references in alphabetical order"
Anything else needs to be in a "What's this" mechanism
Suggestions :
+
+ //set up the tooltip mechanism
+ string str = _("List of all opened documents. The labels from
the one you choose will be displayed in the browser. Useful if you are
working with multipart documents, where you might want to refer to
another doc.");
"Choose a document to show its labels"
+ str = _("The labels of the selected document. Choose the one you
want to refer to.");
"Choose a label to refer to"
+ str = _("You can type in a label name here. Better choose one
from the browser to be shure that it really exists.");
Is this widget editable to allow reference to a document that isn't
loaded into LyX ?
I suggest
"Edit the label" or no tooltip at all (I prefer the latter). This
should be moved to be better associated with the label list instead.
+ str = _("Select the type of the reference. There are different
more or less \"fancy\" ways. Please consult the User Guide for fancy
ones like \"PrettyRef\" (which gives references like \"Chapter 2 on page
14\").");
"Choose the reference style". The combo box should give actual examples
of what it might look like :
2.1 on page 33
The title of the combo should say Reference style too,
+ str = _("Moves the cursor to the selected label and back to the
place, where you are about to insert the reference.");
No need for a tooltip.
+ str = _("Enable to display the labels in alphabetical order.
Otherwise they will be displayed in order of appearance.");
+ tooltips().init(dialog_->check_sort, str);
"Sort labels in alphabetical order"
+ str = _("Updates the List of Labels (if you have inserted new
labels).");
"Refresh the label list" (button should say Refresh too IMHO)
