No, please no! Tooltips et al. imply the use of the mouse. Mouse use should not be a requirement, IMHO. Not only that, I hate it when things pop-up just because I shoved the mouse out of the way when doing something else! I try avoid all use of the mouse whenever possible (due to RSI issues mainly but also because they take my hands off the keyboard). Actually, the need to use the mouse is one reason I've gone back to emacs w/auctex+reflex+... instead of lyx in general. I love lyx but there are still places where you have to use the mouse and I find that irritating. It *is* much better than it used to be in this regard, mind you! cheers, eric
