Can someone tell me what this is or what it does?

Which app are you in, and where did you find that?

Bonjour @walt.farrell. Alignement dans Designer avec Plume.

Perhaps the iPad version?

ça ressemble, oui.

At least it's the snap options buttons, but I can't relate the "A" one to some icon on the desktop version.

Well, we are in "iPad questions", so I assumed that

It’s the Context toolbar icon for the Point Transform Tool’s ‘Baseline’ mode.

Not possible on an iPad, or a phone, as far as I know.

But it would be nice if the descriptions of the Tools and studios that you can get would extend to the Context Toolbar, too. Until then, the Help is your friend.

If help is my friend how would I know what to look for  from Help if I don’t know what this is?

An Internet search often comes to the rescue in cases like this:

I would start by examining what I'm looking at. With an answer to my question earlier, or a more complete screenshot, I would have said "this is from using the Point Transform Tool, and the icons are from the Context Toolbar" and I would have gone to the Help for the Point Transform Tool. And that's exactly where @Alfred found it.
