It is awkward to move off the keyboard while editing a script to hover over a control in the Object Inspector waiting for it to take so I can see the name of the property.
You can select go the the General pane in preferences, look for "Property labels are:" at the top, and select "Name of LiveCode property". Then you won't have to wait for a tool tip.
Personally I think the native property names should be shown by default. New users will learn scripting much faster if the real names are always displayed, and if they wonder what a property does, the tooltip hover will display the "plain English" description as a cue.
Basically, whichever option is selected in prefs, the tooltip shows the other one.
