Mouse-over hints in SL viewer

[Dazzer01]

Hi folks.

In the regular SL viewer, when I mouse-over almost anything, it shows hint text that names or describes what I'm pointing at. Sometimes it's useful, but most of the time I find it very irritating. I've looked at all the preferences and all the menus, including advanced and develop, but I can't find how to turn it off. I'm just wondering if anyone knows or if it's even possible. I know it's probably easy to do in FS for example, but I'd like to stick with the SL viewer for the time being, because I'm getting a better framerate.

So if anyone knows how, please let me know. Thanks.

For anyone on Firestorm it can be found in user interface. Took me ages to find it initially

Thanks!  I needed to bring my hover tips back as it identifies people in meetings I need to address (don't like the name/group tags above heads enabled).

Since being forced to upgrade to the latest PBR Firestorm effort several weeks ago I now get hovertips where I've never seen them before.

I've always backed up my Preferences prior to any viewer version change (not easy to refer to this one as an upgrade - Firestorm 7.1.9 (74745) Jun 20 2024 10:49:53 (64bit / SSE2))  so this is something new to me and it seems utterly pointless.

I appreciate that Firestorm exists but JFC it has so much unnecessary baggage and cluttered menus with numerous never-used options. They really need a Firestorm LIGHT version which doesn't include anything for builders and sellers.

Anyway, the normal 'Show Hover Tips' option (as shown above by Carolyn Z) was already set to OFF, as per my Preferences backup, but now this new hover-tipping persists over panel buttons. I really want to swear and chuck a few F's around to let the frustration out, but as we all know, speak the truth on this forum and it jeopardises your whole SL existence.

The hover tip always repeats whatever the button it now hovers over. Extraordinarily distracting when finely tuning positions for sexual organs during coitus or other such fun.

I get hover tips, as below, my mouse is hovering over the X- button.

I was always seeing it but for some reason never thought there was a way to toggle it on and off. Thanks for the thread.

Ahh I see now what likely turned my hover tips off accidentally...trying to turn transparency on/off:  Ctrl + Alt + T

There are a load of keyboard shortcuts.

FS: https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/keyboard_shortcuts

SL: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/All_keyboard_shortcut_keys

There are only 4 or 5 that I ever remember. And there are ten or so that I frequently need...
