1.5a Suggestion: Display tooltip for selected line (name, path, etc.)

[tuska]

Hi,

Currently, the position of the mouse pointer determines which line the tooltip is displayed for.

Example:
1. The third line in the search result has been marked/selected.
2. The mouse pointer is pointing to the first line.

Result:
The tooltip is displayed for the first line (2.) even though the third line (1.) is selected.


Suggestion/request:
I would like to see an option that allows the tooltip to be displayed for a marked/selected line.

This would also resolve the issue of incorrect tooltips being displayed for image previews (e.g., .jpg) if applicable.
This situation can easily arise when you select an image and then use the arrow keys to call up other images in the preview.

If the proposal were implemented, the following situation would arise:

Code: Select all

1. Mouse pointer - (no selection) - Tooltip from mouse pointer
   - OR -
2. Line selected - Tooltip from selected line (and not from the mouse pointer pointing to another line)

Please check.

Thank you!

PS:
I currently use a bookmark that removes a marker in the search result.
Search: > Custom:

/deselect-all

viewtopic.php?t=10091#deselect-all
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+U

Windows Explorer shows a detailed tooltip for the current selection.

I have put on my TODO list to add the same.
However, it would most likely be off by default as the tooltips usually get in the way.

Thank you for the suggestion.

“Off by default” doesn't bother me.
I would be happy if I could set the new option via Everything > Options > Advanced > tooltip ...
