Description:
Hovering over the "Edit" tab on English Wikipedia articles, I see a tooltip that says "You can edit this page. Please use the Preview button before saving. [alt-shift-v]". As far as I can tell, there is no Preview button in the new UI, and this is not the keyboard shortcut to activate it. This advice seems more appropriate for the "Edit source" tab which just says "Edit the source code of this page [alt-shift-e]". (And shouldn't it be e.g. "Alt+Shift+e"?)

I've temporarily modified the message at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Tooltip-ca-edit but the ideal behavior would probably be for VE to show a VE-specific message for the Edit tooltip if it's available.

Looks like this got fixed at some point. VE has it's own tooltip now

Indeed, probably fixed in the re-work of the tabs in November; marking as fixed.
