« The intend is to make easier for users to discover those feature, the tooltip is not optimal and we have been discussing this. »

My take on this one would be:

- people that interract with the desktop mostly using the mouse will discover the mouse features by themselves.
- I think people that want to use keyboard shortcuts have been used to search them. And the shortcuts can be found either by reading the user manual which is available directly using the popup menu, or by using the keyboard shortcut dialog in system->preferences.

So I don't think we really need to add yet another way to discover the features. But that's only my opinion, not the result of a usability study :)

« We are considering using the context menu to list those actions, what do you think about that? »

That would be better, yes. And a way to show the shortcuts that is consistent the the regular application menus.
