I suspect you have msecDisplayTime set to -1, shortening the text will shorten the display time, at the expense of not being able to see all the options, which would make it inconsistent with the adjacent buttons. How about a "Show tooltips?" checkbox preference setting that is checked by default… or better yet a menu item/icon/shortcut that would toggle tooltips off and on. Aside - I just noticed the Focus on options,in the View menu - I suppose they've always been there Added - X-post with @KarlG & @DiapDealer's posts.

Tooltips are spread all over many code areas, dialogs, and even inside trees and tables throughout the Sigil codebase, so enabling or disabling them in bulk would be a huge pain. That's not going to happen.
Best I can do is shorten that large tip to make it less annoying. |

If I were asked to vote for shorten or leave it as is, I vote for leave it as is… I'm used to pushing the pointer aside.
Windows users could consider using this ==>> Park Cursor Aside Moves The Mouse Cursor When You Start Typing Seems to coexist with Sigil OK - might keep it. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 03-24-2024 at 02:41 AM. Reason: better link |

Use QSS to hide tooltips.
Just create/edit a qt_styles.qss file in the Sigil configuration folder and enter there: Code:
QToolTip {max-width:0; max-height:0; margin:0; padding:0;} Pros: No need to add options in Sigil, any willing user can control the option themselves. Cons: None? |

Thanks, but this doesn't seem to work for me. Unless of course I've created the file in the wrong folder. I created it here: /home/karl/.local/share/sigil-ebook/sigil |

And it works for all tooltips? Even those embedded in tables and trees like the Metadata Editor? If so, wow! You do learn something new every day.

I don't find these particularly useful either, so I wonder if there's any way to disable these using qss as well @Becky, any idea? |

@KarlG
This is an important functionality of Sigil – the history of the Find and Replace fields. However, if you really want to hide it, your choice. I hope you remember the built-in option to clear this history by "Clear Find Replace History" from the context menu. Here code: Code:
QFrame QComboBox QAbstractItemView::item {max-height: 0;} |

I cleared the history and made a couple of new searches, but as you can see they are still showing in the popup. |
