Hello, with the myriad of settings I really miss the informational tooltips on each one in the WAF and .htaccess maker. Is this a Joomla 4 thing or did you remove them for some other reason?
Thank you

Look up! :D
In Joomla 4.1 there is a new toolbar button on some pages of the CMS, titled “Toggle Inline Help”. This is a new Joomla core feature I contributed after the removal of all tooltips on Joomla 4.0. Over the lifetime of Joomla 4 all pages which formerly had tooltips until 3.10 and sod all since 4.0 will have toggleable inline help. This is available for 3rd party extensions as well with just a single line in the form's XML file (which also means we no longer have to maintain our Rube Goldberg-esque solution for turning field descriptions into sticky popups).
So, look up, at the toolbar. Click on “Toggle Inline Help”. Lo and behold, the help appears by magic!
Yes, this does not currently work in the .htaccess Maker. I am investigating why. It does work on the Configure WAF page, though!

Wait, coffee wasn't working. The .htaccess Maker never had tooltips because there is no concise way to explain each option. So, yes, of course this won't work with .htaccess Maker, we never had descriptions to convert from tooltips to inline help. Makes sense.

Sorry, I should have noticed it was not just Admin Tools. I apologize for bothering you with this.
Thanks for clearing this up.
