October 1, 201411 yr In Baldur's Gate 2, the TAB key highlighted tooltips and containers when the mouse was in the level. When the mouse was hovering over a UI element such as a character portrait or part of the HUD, it did not show in game tooltips and instead sped up the highlighting of UI tooltips such as portrait tooltips and the commands mapped to buttons. In the Inventory screen it also sped up the speed of tooltips.

I find this to be really inconsistent UI design/control mapping and would prefer that the TAB key was universal across UI screens and acted how it does in Baldur's Gate 2.
October 1, 201411 yr This is something i noticed and it bothered me as well. When i go through the inventory i prefer to see it's name faster rather than switch between party members. It makes overview of your inventory faster.
