How to get proper name of item, recipe etc?

[ShadowScaleFTL]

So, when i try to do a lot of changies for another mods my main problem is to find item or recipe i wish to mod as i need to find in locale proper name and only them find it. Is it a way to skip this step? may be a way to run game without any locale to see ingame true names for all things? or smth else.

How another modders solve this moment?

This can be done with the following method:

1. Open debug settings F4 by default
2. Enable "Show-Debug-Info-In-Tooltips"
3. Close Debug Settings
4. Hover pointer over any building or entity to reveal the internal name (and much more) in the right hand panel

It seems like only few people know about this but if you hover over an entity, technology or item you can press ctrl-shift-F and a window with the prototype properties will open.

Wow!

Count me among those as un-enlightened.... until now.

It even has wiki links so we can look up the meanings. To whom do I apply for making up the lost time wasted doing it the old way?

Thanks
