ALT-scroll for big tooltips
Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2025 9:32 am
TL;DR
Sometimes tooltips gets too big and portions of it are cut off. Add a feature where using the controls ALT+Mouse scroll allows you to scroll through the tooltip, making reading large tooltips easy and simple.
What?
Sometimes the tooltip gets too big and portions of it are cut off; you can't see the entire tooltip. This happens sometimes in mods but it also happens in vanilla (e.g thruster in Space Age).

My proposal is to add a feature where if you hold ALT+Mouse scroll you can scroll through the tooltip, like in Cosmoteer (but only if the tooltip is too large to be read normally).
Why?
Having portions of the tooltip cut off isn't good as it makes some information inaccessible. The current methods (such as reducing GUI size) are quite tedious and adding this feature would allow players to easily read the entire description.
