Summary0025058: Tooltip delay option

Is there any current option somewhere in the settings to add a "tooltip delay on mouse hover"?
I really enjoyed playing this game when it got released and just decided to jump back in with the new DLCs. The constant pop of tooltip windows when I move the cursor around the screen is driving me crazy, usually strategy games have some minimum delay before showing them.

I can certainly add a customizable delay on tooltips in general; that's not a problem. I can also make different tooltips have different delays, within some reason. Usually I have preferred to have things react instantly, since it keeps things feeling really responsive, but that's definitely not true for everyone, and I am certainly familiar with the annoyance of having a bunch of popups as I move the mouse around.

I'll add this to my list for Monday or so, and we'll see what feels like a good default.

Here are the rules I follow when building UI/UX in my applications:

To summarize, ~300ms before showing tooltips can be applied globally.
I don't think there is a need to over-engineer that option.
Hope that helps.

Cheers!

This was done a bit ago, though it defaults to off. In general tooltip delay on stopping hovering over something was the biggest thing that felt off.
