Most of the items in the Library are Symbols that are assigned a specific category and have specific behaviors. Once you have learned the basics of Chief you will recognize what items are appropriate and how to make your own Library Items to function as you want them to.

What if CA had the symbol's use information display in the status bar when an item in the library were highlighted?

Example: highlight a sofa, and in the status bar "Interior Furniture - sits on floor" would be displayed.

While I agree, this becomes pretty intuitive after using the program for a while, it is not in the beginning.

Also, there is no downside to displaying the info in the status bar, and probably requires very little programming.
