As somebody else explained, for menu entries tooltips are not that important, because menu texts are better to understand than tool bar icons. Yes, one can get used to the tooltips and their texts are often very good; nevertheless having an option to disable menu entry tooltips separately would be nice. > Often you can > "right-click" (= mouse-3 resp. mouse-2 in Emacs) on some such entities > like menu entries to couse a context menu with a help entry to appear. > > You can often do this in Emacs, or you can often do this in other > programs? I know you can often call a context menu in Emacs, but it's impossible to jump from a menu entry directly to the manual where this menu entry will be explained. -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.gnu.franken.de/ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
