Describe the feature you'd like

This feature is included in Confluence and Microsoft Office and is proposed for this: hovering over a button in the toolbar of the WYSIWYG editor hints at its shortcut. Example: when hovering over the button Bullet list, show text "Bullet list (CTRL+P)" instead of just the descriptor.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Using different editors with different shortcuts can result in them being misremembered. It would be a quick reference to have these hints as part of the editor instead of looking at the doc for a reminder of the shortcuts https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/user/wysiwyg-editor/
It would also be helpful for new or infrequent users of Bookstack.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

The doc page above can be opened in a new tab for reference.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
