What

Second part of the tooltip overhaul: the editor. Timeline toolbar and transport, top bar, inspector rail, Record mode and chat now follow tooltips.md and use the shared tooltip from the HUD PR.

  • Shortcuts are chips, read from the live bindings (Add zoom, trim, speed, annotation, Full Camera, Play/Pause, Undo, Redo, Send). "(Z)" is gone from all 15 locales.
  • Record mode: the cursor row is now Editable cursor, the HUD's term, and its tooltip defines both states. System audio gets a tooltip; microphone, camera and auto-zoom get none. The cursor and auto-zoom rows are hidden when capture falls back to the browser, like the HUD button, through one shared check.
  • Timeline: Add Full Camera is hidden in a project with no camera. Auto-Focus has one name and one tip, with the state in aria-pressed. Clear timeline says Full Camera goes too and that clips, audio and captions stay.
  • Top bar: no title on the mode tabs, Export or the brand.
  • Rail: six new tip keys, opening to the left so they never cover the next button.
  • Chat: compact, history, rewind and regenerate say what they do.
  • i18n: timeline, editor and settings in 15 locales, 17 keys added, 13 rewritten, 9 removed. The guard test now covers the new keys (placeholders, length, no key baked into a chip string, no "playhead", same cursor term as the HUD).
  • Docs: tooltips.md, the manual checklist (with a hover line for the editor) and the "Cursor highlight" label in the 7 translated recording pages.

Decisions

  • "At the playhead" is written "at the current time": the word for playhead is the word for the mouse cursor in pt-BR, ru and tr.
  • Undo, Redo, Send and Compact use aria-disabled instead of disabled, so their tooltip still opens (Send is where "Set up a provider" is said).
  • A region pill keeps its native title only when it is too small to draw its own label.
  • Clear timeline is 93 characters, over the 80 cap: it has no confirmation and must say what goes and what stays. The cap table in tooltips.md says so.
  • The clip card's edit and delete buttons keep their native title: they sit inside a card that has its own, and a shared tooltip would stack on it.

Translation and checks

The 14 non-English locales are machine-translated and not natively reviewed. Native review is tracked in #913.

A manual hover pass is still needed (checklist line added): I did not launch the app. tsc (both configs), Biome, npm run i18n:check, the recreation check and the targeted Vitest suites pass. src/components/ui/sonner.test.tsx cannot run in a worktree without its own node_modules, and the website translation check was not run for the same reason.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The editor update replaces native titles with shared tooltips, adds platform-formatted shortcut labels, and changes editable-cursor availability checks. It also updates localized copy, tests, and documentation for editor, recording, and timeline controls.

Changes

Editor accessibility and tooltip updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chat and editor controls
src/components/ai-edition/LeftPanel*, src/components/ai-edition/NewEditorShell*, src/components/ai-edition/ProviderSettings.test.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/EditorTopBar*
Chat and top-bar actions use shared tooltips. Unavailable actions expose aria-disabled states, and their handlers are omitted or guarded. Tests cover tooltip text, accessible names, and shortcut chips.
Transport, inspector, media, and timeline controls
src/components/ai-edition/TransportBar*, src/components/ai-edition/v4/FloatingInspector*, src/components/ai-edition/v4/MediaStage*, src/components/ai-edition/v4/V4Timeline*, src/lib/shortcuts*, tests/e2e/v4-shell.spec.ts
Transport and timeline controls show shortcut-aware tooltips. Inspector and media controls replace native titles with shared tooltips. Camera-fullscreen is omitted when no camera is available. Audio-slip guidance uses the platform-specific modifier.
Editable-cursor availability and recording controls
src/lib/editableCursorAvailability*, src/hooks/useEditableCursorAvailable.ts, src/components/launch/LaunchWindow.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/RecStage*
A shared helper checks editable-cursor availability by platform. Recording controls show editable cursor only when available, and show auto-zoom only when editable cursor is available and enabled.
Localized copy and supporting guidance
src/i18n/locales/*/{editor,settings,timeline}.json, src/i18n/__tests__/tooltipCopy.test.ts, technical-documentation/engineering/tooltips.md, technical-documentation/testing/manual-e2e-checklist.md, website/docs/recording.md, website/i18n/*/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/recording.md
Translations and supporting checks describe the updated editor, recording, and timeline controls. Recording copy and documentation use editable-cursor terminology.

The tooltip updates preserve guarded unavailable actions and address the Regenerate button’s keyboard accessibility issue. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains; the planned manual hover check and native translation follow-up remain appropriate.

Linguistic review of the 14 locales (second pass, 30 keys x 14 locales = 420 strings)

20 strings fixed and pushed as c53b173. Checked: meaning, each locale's own terms, register, length (at most about 1.5x English), placeholders, typography, JSON and LF. i18n:check, the i18n tests and Biome pass. Verified specifically:

  • "Editable cursor" is the same string in the Record mode row and the HUD in all 14 locales.
  • "Clear timeline" names Full Camera and says clips, audio and captions stay, in all 14.
  • "At the current time" is rendered with a time or moment word (ja: "current playback position"). No locale says "cursor" or "playhead".
  • The five inspector rail tips start with the rail label the locale already shows.
Locale Verdict
ar 4 fixed (CPU/GPU wording as in the existing notice, transcribe verb, "crop" vs "trim", "undone" as in the rewind dialog)
cs 1 fixed (blur term as in the annotation type)
de 4 fixed (Schreibtischsymbole, "rückgängig" wording, blur term, capital after colon)
es 2 fixed (CPU speed phrasing, "Mantén presionado" as in the rest of es)
fr 2 fixed (CPU as in the existing notice, "sont conservés" in Clear timeline)
it 1 fixed (icone della scrivania, as in the row label)
ja-JP 1 fixed (録画, not 収録, as in the rest of ja)
ko-KR 1 fixed (블러, as in the annotation type)
pt-BR OK
ru 2 fixed (CPU as in the existing notice, "использовать меньше контекста")
tr 1 fixed (kelime, not sözcük)
vi 1 fixed (cắt xén for crop, cắt is trim)
zh-CN OK
zh-TW OK

Still worth a native look

  • ar settings.facets.tips.effects: "المسافة البادئة" (the existing Padding label) means a text indent. editor.chat.rewindTip: "إعادة الضبط" reads as "reset".
  • tr editor.rec.editableCursorTip: the first half ends on a dangling "ile".
  • it timeline.buttons.addCameraFullscreen, settings.facets.tips.layout: "Camera" and "fotocamera" side by side, the locale mixes both.
  • ko editor.mediaStage.regenerateTip: "받아씁니다", while settings use "전사".
  • cs, es, pt-BR, ru, tr, vi editor.inspector.editClipTip: the existing labels give crop and trim one shared word in these locales, so "crop, start and end" can read as trim.
  • zh-CN, zh-TW timeline.buttons.addTrim: 剪辑 / 剪輯 is the existing trim label, and also means "edit".

Tracked in #913.

list, replace the native `disabled` state with `aria-disabled` so the button
remains focusable and the shared `Tooltip` stays available while `selectedBusy`
is true. Prevent `requestTranscription` from running while busy, and preserve

Follow-up pushed: Record mode row tooltips now open above their pill (they covered the row label, and below the last row they would cover Start recording), and the French tooltips use a no-break space before : so the colon no longer starts a line. No wording changed.

🤖 Addressed by Claude Code

Timeline toolbar, transport, top bar, inspector rail, Record mode and chat use the shared tooltip. Shortcuts are chips read from the live bindings, the Record mode cursor row is the Editable cursor, and Clear timeline says what goes and what stays. timeline.json, editor.json and settings.json in all 15 locales: 17 keys added, 13 rewritten, 9 removed.
…in ar, cs, de, es, fr, it, ja, ko, ru, tr, vi
…s above the pill

Regenerate, Rename and Auto-enhance use aria-disabled instead of disabled while busy, so their tooltip still opens and the click does nothing. The Record mode row tooltips open above their pill instead of over the row's label.
