Alt text for menu Items?

[Simon Steinbeiß]

Hey Jeff,

Great to hear! :)
You can simply go to the setting of whiskermenu (that's the name of the new applications menu we're shipping) and tick the option "Show application descriptions".
It won't show tooltips, but it should do what you want (if I understood you correctly).

Cheers
Simon
