Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/17376

State: closed
Merged: Yes


This adds a "description" property to actions. Notably, the shell completion protocol (#3121) will now also populate that.

The suggestions UI can then use those descriptions to display an additional tooltip with that information.

TeachingTip was kinda an abject disaster last time I tried this, so this isn't a TeachingTip. It's literally a text block.
