But what's a "tooltip"?
Emacs can use the echo area for "tooltip" text. Does that use
provide a "tooltip"? Not in the usual sense. But Emacs is not so
usual, in general.
We used to have variable `tooltip-use-echo-area', whose name even
suggested that Emacs was using the echo area as a tooltip.
Call it what you might. It shows the same info as a tooltip.
And no, you do *not* have to hover over the zone. You do not even
have to have a mouse.
emacs -Q -nw
C-h f forward-char
C-h f backward-char
C-x o ; to get to *Help*
TAB ; see :help ("tooltip") text in echo area
TAB ; see next zone's :help text in echo area
Without -nw, just turn off `tooltip-mode'. Same behavior as above.
