There are two suggestions here but they're somewhat interleaved.
We can hide tooltips entirely but sometimes I need the information they contain and modifying users settings is very slow for an active situation. At the same time having the information popping in and out of existence on hover / selection is distracting or view-obstructing during some activities. We also cannot currently toggle display of action tooltips on keypress, only item tooltips.
It would be great to expand the current system for on-keypress tooltip display in two ways:
- Add on-keypress tooltip behavior to the action tooltip system
- Allow inverting the overall tooltip display behavior, so that you could have tooltips not display by default, but show up when a key is held down and a relevant icon hovered over.
