Description

Several toolbar shortcuts exist and work today (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+P for Presentation Mode, shipped since #3422) but aren't shown anywhere in the UI, only in the wiki FAQ.

Filing this per the request in #21763, to discuss whether and how to make these shortcuts visible in the toolbar itself.

Research direction

Review the existing toolbar tooltip behavior and the keyboard shortcuts listed in the wiki FAQ, including Presentation Mode from #3422 and the request in #21763. Define which existing shortcuts should appear in each toolbar tooltip and how the visible wording should be verified in the UI.
