Add a simple usage note to projected view#382
Conversation
On GTK, the handler will get called twice if you call skip(), and a ValueError exception is thrown on cmdline We're handling the event so skip not necessary.

Tested on Linux - wxGTK 2.8, and on Windows, both 2.8 and 3.0. Happy to add similar notes to the other tabs for consistency if you want, but they're more obvious (except fleet which already has a note). |

I have been wanting to do this ever since I added that note to the fleet thing, the only thing stopping me was the fact that the other views used the Display while the fleet views straight up used it's own panel. I can't check the code right now, but it seems like you insert the message into the Name column, yeah? I think a better solution would be to append the message to the bottom of the Display class, but it would take more work because you'll have to make a new panel and add the Display along with the message (in theory). This looks like a good first step tho and I'll be happy to merge it once I have a chance to take a look. =) |

I had a little think about the best way of doing this. Started just with tooltip but decided it wasn't obvious enough. The nice thing about this approach is that it's really obvious without consuming any screen real-estate. It's also a metaphor that users will be familiar with: "drag thing to here". |

Had a few people in corp not realise you could put a whole ship fitting in the 'Projected' view. Thought a basic usage hint might help.
