Consider the following example: A window with two buttons, each with a tooltip. The keyboard focus is on one while the mouse hovers over another. IMO there should never be more than a single tooltip displayed at once (perhaps not including calltips). We can have tooltips auto-hide when another is displayed (and no-op if itself it attempted to be re-displayed). Having keyboard focus changes automatically trigger tooltip display (with or without delay) could interact poorly with the above in some cases, e.g. a mouse-hover tooltip suddenly disappearing due to a keyboard delay kicking in and displaying another tooltip. I'm also not sure keyboard focus should affect tooltips shown by mouse-hover. If we have tooltips triggered by the keyboard, however, then the "anchor" widget losing keyboard focus should certainly hide the tooltip. I lean in favor of simplicity and consistency. IMO any keyboard focus change should likely hide all tooltips. I suggest the following: 1. Add ability to show tooltips with the keyboard using the same keyboard shortcut as "<<force-open-calltip>>", which defaults to Ctrl+/. Perhaps as a separate "<<show-tooltip>>" virtual event, or just rename "<<force-open-calltip>>" to that and use it for both. 2. No auto-display of tooltips triggered by a widget receiving keyboard focus. 3. Any keyboard focus change should hide all tooltips and calltips. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33839> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
