#showtooltip in Macros

[Raraka]

I did not know this was a thing that I wanted untill now

I propose they could add /mtt or /macrotooltip that follows the same rules as /micon, so if I /mtt "Fat cat" minion, the macro displays the fat cat minion tooltip

Expanding further in the feature, a /macrodescription or /mdes to add a custom tooltip on the macros could be very nice, to say, label your Crafter or fisher macros more detailed, or describe what the intended use for the macro is

The thing with the term "tooltip" though is that "tooltip" to the game is not the thing that tells you what the action or item does. The tooltip is just the name of the action and the keybind assigned to it, if hovering over a hotbar. The things that tell you what actions and items do are Action Help and Item Help.



And in fact macros already display a customizable tooltip: the macro name. So if they added a command to assign an Action Help or Item Help to a macro, they'd almost certainly call it /macrohelp or /mhelp.
