Tooltips missing for dashboard view mode toggle icons (Grid/List) on Dashboard List page

[ionik0]

Version

Superset 6.0.0 (or your current version)

Screenshot

Expected Behavior

When hovering over the grid/card view and list/table view icons at the top-left of the Dashboard List page, a tooltip should appear describing each icon ("Grid view" and "List view").

Actual Behavior

No tooltip appears when hovering over these icons.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to Dashboards > Dashboard List.
2. Hover over the grid/card view and list/table view icons.
3. Observe that no tooltip is shown.

Additional Context

This issue affects usability and accessibility. A PR is ready to address this by adding tooltips using the Superset Tooltip component.

Hi @ionik0! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the superset team.

You're correct—there are currently no tooltips for the grid/list view toggle icons on the Dashboard List page. This is confirmed in the code: the toggle icons are rendered in the ViewModeToggle component inside superset-frontend/src/components/ListView/ListView.tsx, but they aren't wrapped in a Tooltip component or given a title attribute, so nothing appears on hover see code reference.

Other action icons on the Dashboard List page (like delete, export, and edit) do use the Superset Tooltip component, so adding tooltips for the view mode toggles would be consistent and improve both usability and accessibility see usage.

To fix this, wrap each toggle icon in a <Tooltip> with the appropriate label ("Grid view" and "List view") in the ViewModeToggle component. This will provide the expected hover text and align with accessibility best practices. There are no existing public PRs or issues that address this specific UI gap.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
