I only found this out by asking whether such a feature existed, and being told about it. It would never have occurred to me to try it myself. > And assuming I'm guessing correctly, do you have any suggestions on how > I can get the word out about this and other useful but obscure features > of Fossil? Scatter mouseover help bubbles around? I've used these in a web app before; I had just a ? with a box around it. Hovering the mouse over them would pop up a few paragraphs of help text. I found these useful for footnote-style reminders of functionality and what things did. Because they take up very little space when not in use, they can be sprinkled liberally around the UI without impacting usability too much. OTOH, they do require reasonably heavy Javascript to do well (I had JQuery, which had this functionality built in). -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ 𝕻𝖍'𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖚𝖎 𝖒𝖌𝖑𝖜'𝖓𝖆𝖋𝖍 𝕮𝖙𝖍𝖚𝖑𝖍𝖚 𝕽'𝖑𝖞𝖊𝖍 𝖜𝖌𝖆𝖍'𝖓𝖆𝖌𝖑 𝖋𝖍𝖙𝖆𝖌𝖓. │
