[Bf-committers] proposal: tooltip change for modifiers...

[Ronan Ducluzeau]

For the last one, I propose :
"Use modifier while in edit mode"

It is simple and I think that it is more meaningful.
Complete Topology is already visible when modifier result is shown.
It changes for selectable vertices : locations, instances amount,
display(for mask modifier)

There is more an impact on selection that on display.
