<p>The nice thing about the delay is that you can always move your mouse into the tooltip and start using it by mouse, this makes working-sets more discoverable.</p>
<p>However the basic idea was also to let it pop away as soon as the modifiers are released, this would just need some more ugly event-filtering once again.</p>
<p>Also, I think this is better than the CTRL+Tab UI, because it uses a common UI for multiple things, and increases discoverability of working sets. I think CTRL+Tab should also use the same UI, or be simply removed as it's redundant now. If you think that the tooltip is too fat or redundant, you can propose how to make it more compact while keeping it useful.</p>

While I like the idea of showing the working set tooltip when switching<br>
documents with e.g. CTRL + ALT + LEFT|RIGHT, it is quite annoying at the same<br>
time:<br>
<br>
1) it shows a possible *huge* tooltip, with quite contrasting colors<br>
2) it is shown too long, imo it *must* hide as soon as I release all buttons.<br>
And maybe it should only be shown when I press e.g. CTRL + ALT for some time.<br>
Like this:<br>
<br>
CTRL + ALT + LEFT (no popup)<br>
keep CTRL + ALT pressed (=> popup is shown after XYZmsec delay)<br>
CTRL + ALT released (=> popup is hidden)<br>
<br>
this is of course hard to implement with configurable shortcuts.<br>
<br>
But can it at least be hidden as soon as I release all modifiers of that<br>
action? The current implementation is too much noise for too long imo.<br>
<br>
If this is not possible, I'm actually *in favor* of removing this feature<br>
again. Lets rather scroll the tabbar better to always have the selected tab in<br>
the middle. If you want to find something in a list, use CTRL + TAB or<br>
quickopen...<br>
<br>
