Description

Currently, several controls in the simulator UI are icon-only (left sidebar buttons + floating buttons).
For new users, it’s not always clear what each icon does unless they already know the UI.

Adding tooltips on hover (desktop) and on long-press (mobile/tablet) would improve usability and reduce confusion without changing the existing layout.

Describe the solution you'd like

On desktop, hovering an icon button should show a tooltip label like:

“New Circuit”
“Copy”
“Paste”
“Delete”
“Wiring Mode”
etc.

On mobile, tooltip should appear on long-press (or be skipped if not supported yet).

Tooltip should be:
readable
not blocking important UI
consistent with current theme (light/dark)
