Fix tooltips in web items actions which have keyboard shortcuts

      Tooltips (standard and chunky ones) are displayed getting the value of the 'title' or 'original-title' attribute.

      The mentioned attribute has a flaky content at the moment - it's not consistent and it changes from one context to another - so tooltips are not ok. Please see attached screenshots.

            [CONFSERVER-29544] Fix tooltips in web items actions which have keyboard shortcuts

            Hi Esther,

            Closing this out since it doesn't seem to be a problem any more.

            moving all PDL issues in 5.1 to 5.2 for now so that we can move back in the ones we plan to fix.

            I just had issues with the Create button. Its tooltip is ok in dashboard and when viewing a page, wrong when editing it.

            Edit button issue is solved as part of CONFDEV-14827.

            Yeah, Craig and I decided to go with the convention that the thing in brackets in a tooltip is the keyboard shortcut and it doesn't need any introduction.

            We were previously very inconsistent in this, sometimes using "Save (⌘S)", sometimes using "Save (type '⌘' + 'S')", and so on. We looked at other applications, and couldn't see anywhere where they use the "type …" conventions: Eclipse, IntelliJ, Mac apps, MS Office, and so on.

            We'll probably remain inconsistent in some areas until we clean all of this up. The new way works like this:

            • All platforms: multiple keys are separated by commas. Example: "Recently Viewed (g, r)"
            • All platforms: shortcuts without modifiers use lowercase latters, with modifiers use uppercase. Example: "Create (c)", "Copy (⌘C)".
            • Mac: modifier keys immediately followed by letters. Example: "Save (⌘S)"
            • Windows & Linux: modifier keys separated by pluses. Example: "Save (Ctrl+S)"

            Make sense?

            Correct, I removed that after a discussion with matt@atlassian.com.

            I think that cpetchell got rid of the 'Type' word on 'Type (c)'.

            It seems that all tooltips have lost their "Type 'c'" wording on EAC
