Research direction

Start by reviewing the dormant help_message_widget branch at github.com/natinusala/RetroArch/tree/help_message_widget and compare it with the current RetroArch menu implementation. Determine how the help message widget can provide tooltip messages in the menu; done means tooltips are usable there and improve the menu user experience.
