Default Customizable Tooltip Text [on Toolbars]

In addition to customizing the toolbars, actions, and icons, the next logical thing would be customizable tooltips for each item. Example: instead of a tooltip that reads "Action: Send Note Off For All MIDI Channels" (or however it's worded) allow users to edit the tooltip so I could just say "Panic Button" for example. Basically, an alias that overrides the default tooltip text.

Note: you could probably work around this by creating a custom action, but that seems like it would be an unnecessary extra workaround.

You can already do this by choosing your action, then before you pick an icon, change text of the button (you have option "Use as tooltip")...

You are right, but as you said, you must first define the button as a text button, then enter a tooltip, and then change it to an icon button.

If you already have an icon button, you cannot set a tooltip without losing the icon.
And when you have a huge library of icon, it's not easy to find the icon again...

So it would be nice to have a "set tooltip" action in the context menu.
