Show ToolTips instantly #29

Prerequisites

Feature

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There is a delay between hovering over an icon in the dock and seeing the tooltip.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see the tooltip appear the instant the mouse hovers over the icon so that there is a smoother flow to discovering what each icon on the dock is for.

Existing work

N/A

Describe alternatives you've considered

I haven't thought of an alternative. I just think this would make the experience smoother and more pleasing.

Additional context

This suggestion may be more complicated than it seems if tooltips are not easily configurable in Gnome / Pantheon.

It doesn't look like we can make Gtk.Tooltip show instantly. Even if we connect to the tooltip query event (which seems to run immediately on motion enter) and return true it seems like the timeout always happens. We also can't position the tooltips afaict. So probably the solution is to style a popover as a tooltip as just make sure we set screenreader names manually
