Research direction

Start by tracing the tooltip rendering path and the ShowFullPredictionTooltip key binding. Determine where the “ to view all” text is produced and how a user’s rebinding is represented. Done means the tooltip instruction stays accurate when that key is bound to a different action.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Today, the tooltip rendering uses <F4> to view all message to instruct a user when the full tooltip message cannot be rendered in the list view, assuming that is bound to the ShowFullPredictionTooltip function.

However, it's possible that a user re-bind <F4> to a different function/action. In that case, the message will become misleading.
It should be updateable in that case, but I'm not sure how and what to update with in that case. Will collect feedback on it.
