File compare tool: Add keyboard shortcut to tooltip for the Save button
* Select two files and choose menu option Files/Compare by Content
* Hover the mouse over the Save button
A tooltip is shown with the text "Save". I suggest including "(Ctrl+S)" to display the keyboard shortcut, similar to the tooltips for the Find and Find Next buttons.

Good idea. It is just a change to string 1612 in the .lng file - I don't think that string is used anywhere else, but Christian must know that.

String 1612 is also used in the title of the dialog to save the selection when saving settings in "Synchronize dirs":
1. Select files
2. Synchronize dirs
3. Click on folder button
4. Choose "Add current directories and settings to list"
5. Enter name
6. Confirm dialog
-> dialog to save selection to file starts with string 1612.

Re: File compare tool: Add keyboard shortcut to tooltip for the Save button
So the suggestion is to solve that. For example by adding a separate string for the save selection dialog, or by adding a string for the keyboard shortcut.
Re: File compare tool: Add keyboard shortcut to tooltip for the Save button
I vote for that - it could be a new string 1489, just before the two related strings:or by adding a string for the keyboard shortcut.
1490="Find (F7)"
1491="Find next (F3)"

Re: File compare tool: Add keyboard shortcut to tooltip for the Save button
Why would it need a new string? The hotkey could be appended programmatically.

Oh, no. Don't do such things.

- Translations... Some people e.g. in german language do not like Strg+S but Ctrl+S, or Ctrl-S... and want to change it themselfs for there needs/wishes in lng file.
- Hardcoding is against the TC rules, if soft configuring is possible
- This info about the shortcut is not a must at this button

Translations aren't an argument, the keys are translated in strings 5282..5284 and 5299.
Adding a string would be better than modifying an existing one which is already used for other things.

Re: File compare tool: Add keyboard shortcut to tooltip for the Save button
Ever heard of SAA (Systems Application Architecture), CUA (Common User Access) and - following - Windows Keyboard shortcuts?
If someone - pointlessly - want to write down obvious shortcuts again, he make it clear that he have no interest in these similarities and no understanding of these common features of a user interface.
The Tc shouldn't do that to itself.
