Description

I'd like to be able to assign a name to each tile in a tileset. This name could then be shown in the blank space in the tileset toolbar when you hover the mouse over that tile. It could be especially helpful when there are tiles that are visually difficult to distinguish between.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the tileset toolbar and the tileset tile-data model, then trace how hover text is produced. Done means a tile can have a saved name and that name appears in the blank toolbar area when the tile is hovered.
