I don't have much experience with Emacs tooltips and I haven't studied
them much, because I hardly use the mouse in Emacs :-) But I noticed
that you can also display the content of a tooltip in the echo area,
with `<C-h .>' (`display-local-help'), or even set to non-nil
`help-at-pt-display-when-idle' and evaluate `help-at-pt-set-timer', so
that a tootltip is displayed at point; and in this scenario, they can be
useful to me to quickly have some type of information.
You can also set this variable to force tooltips always in the echo
area:
(setq tooltip-use-echo-area t)
Anyway, I haven't given up on the idea of footnote tooltips yet. Here's
a new version of the code I attached in my first post in this thread,
and I think it's simpler now and works better, though I don't know if it
might have any side effects... Footnote tooltips are activated with the
minor mode `my-org-fn-tooltip-mode'.
