FS#2530 - Make it possible to control the tooltip delay time when hovering over tool buttons, for speed.
I noticed that every time I move my mouse from the main working canvas (schematic area) to the tool buttons on the left sidebar there is a delay before the first hover tooltip (which displays the tool names and hotkeys corresponding to each tool button) displays.
The tooltips remain fast (near instant) after that initial hover, but it it would be nice if there was an option field for controlling how long the tooltip delay is for that initial display delay.
Currently, on my Windows 10 machine, it takes about 1 full second for the tooltip to show, which may not sound like much but feels like a lot when trying to work faster.
Here is a link to the related forum discussion, which also discussed a different (and I’d say more useful/effective) idea as well.
I’m creating two separate Bugtracker submissions for that one thread though, to keep things clean.
Perhaps I should have created two separate forum thread for that to begin with.
Explained behavior is basic Qt behavior.
There is a sound reason why there is an initial delay.

Oh ok, that's a shame, but very understandable.
One must work within practical constraints, as with all things.
If the GUI framework makes changes too hard then I wouldn't want to impose too much of a burden on the devs when they have other priorities in this case.
It'd still be nice of course, in principle.
Anyway, thanks again for reading and responding to my ideas, especially since I'm a newbie here!
