Just as a reference, in GNOME editable entries, when in a context where it is not clear they are editable, have a pencil symbolic icon as you suggested, but there is no "Edit" tooltip. Another thing is that the icon disappears if the user has the text cursor in the entry.
I have no strong opinion on the tooltip, I will look into implementing this. > On 20.07.2023 10:29 CEST Fiona Ebner <f.eb...@proxmox.com> wrote: > > > Am 20.07.23 um 10:22 schrieb Lukas Wagner: > > > > > > On 7/20/23 09:54, Dominik Csapak wrote: > >> > >> i'ts even easier, the user can simply edit the field manually ;) > >> i know this trips up many people, but we often have dropdown fields > >> that are actually manually editable (like the permpathselector) > >> but it's only hinted at by the blinking cursor in the field. > >> > >> we should come up with a more apparent way of making that clear... > >> (but i currently can't think of one) > >> > > > > Aaaah true, I didn't realize that.
