Hint message icons
As well as showing basic strings, scripts can use a variety of icons alongside
hint messages. This can be done by placing ^c at the start of the string,
where c is a character from the table below.
| Character | Icon |
|---|---|
b |
record |
c |
yellow smiling face |
d |
mouse right click |
e |
red sad face |
f |
orange left-facing triangle |
g |
fast-forward icon |
h |
exclamation point in a red circle |
i |
clock |
j |
rewind icon |
k |
link icon |
l |
midi keyboard |
m |
F1 (help) key icon |
n |
Image-Line icon |
r |
plugin icon |
s |
file icon |
t |

u |
tempo tap icon |
v |
left-facing triangle |
w |

x |

y |

z |

For example, to display a tempo tap message with a relevant icon, the following code could be used.
ui.setHintMsg("^uTap tempo")
Note that these icon codes are not returned by ui.getHintMsg().
