 * Hey all, sorry I missed this question. WP has made changes to the support system
   so I kind of lost track of things. The tools consist of whatever you want them
   to contain. There are some pre-made text I added to the theme but in order to
   use the tools button you add some dialog to the theme options and you have a 
   place where users can see “how to use your wiki” etc. It is kind of an open book
   since I really did not design it for anything specific.

 * Newest version has a widget you can add to the toolbar that will over-ride the
   tools.
 * To explain tools… I have no definition and the purpose was to create just another
   place to add information. The default “tools” as you may see, are merely windows/
   linux commands to show people how to use copy and paste, etc. since this is a
   Wiki like theme I figure most wikis have a lot of information that peeps may 
   want to copy, hence the hotkey tool tips.
 * Once you add you own “information” in the Customizer it will then over-ride the
   default tools. I might suggest things like
 * – an event list
    – books ref. – links (may need to change html support) – Steps
   to take in a process – address and phone numbers – facebook twitter links – chapter
   Reference <- good one for a wiki
 * So have at it your way. If you have trouble making links with the Customizer 
   then you can use the new widget as a Text Widget which in WP 4.8 now supports
   visual Editor.

 * Marking solved, let me know if anyone comes up with more uses.
