I was trying to Google it but I was not able to find. :)

Thanks for those links, seems to be quite old but I guess the overall
mindset has not changed then.

Just for curiosity, I tested it with setToolTipsVisible(true) in cpp code
and it worked on Windows.

The reason I was checking this is that if someone develops external plugins
or uses Lua code, documentation for those mentions and supports tooltips
but it never ends up working obviously. So it's confusing a bit.

Not sure if it's worth raising a follow up issue on Gitlab?

Could there be a new preference option added to turn it on/off?
