This is based on my user experience on both Writer and Calc.

I noticed that when I hover my mouse cursor over the buttons on Toolbars, there is no tooltip available telling me what a button does or the keyboard shortcut to toggle its function.

Will the developers be adding Tooltips onto Toolbar Buttons?

I think they may have already done this. Go to Tools | Options | General and under Help select Tips, and if desired, Extended Tips.

The keyboard shortcut isn't displayed.

Already there - turn on /Tools /Options /OpenOffice /General and check Tool Tips; if you like, check also Extended tips. The keyboard shortcut is indicated on the appropriate menu item for that button.

Thank you both for sharing the solution to enable Tooltips as well as Extended Tooltips!

I have added the [Solved] tag to the thread title.
