This will sound silly because I don't know what it's called

Recently upgraded to current ver. Used to be, i could roll over a selected character, and i'd get a little tooltip with alternate options for that character. This is no longer active after the upgrade and I don't even know where to begin to look for it, and it was super helpful.

TIA! 🙂

Two correct answers. Turns out it's a new font i'm working with as well.

I think you are looking for Type Contexual Controls

The option to activate these can be found in the InDesign Preferences, under Advanced Type.
