[Feature Request] Fix helpButton or add tooltips
AltSnap has a powerful configuration window, however some options are not easy to understand at first glance. I have been struggling in wiki and docs to make AltSnap behave as my wish, so I am wondering if it's possible to add tooltips to further explain what each option is for.
I did notice that there's a helpButton on the titlebar of the configuration window, but I failed to figure out any help with it, is it functional?

Documenting stuff takes as much time if not more than implementing it , I am the sole maintainer, this is why everything is a bit cryptic. Popup Info bubbles are in my TODO list but, it will take a while.

The context Help button can be disabled but I did not do it because in pre-win7 area you were not supposed to ever disable it. It used to show an easy to configure contextual help and was always ON for for at least the OK/Cancel/Apply buttons but Windows 7 decided to remove completely this API and all the standardized help format so the [ ? ] button can no longer do anything. I guess I will disable it when AltSnap runs on Win7+
Info bubbles also have the problem they appear only for a few seconds. I will implement my own substitute to the traditional help system.
