<p>This makes sense. I also thought of that because accidentally hovering would always show such a big tooltip even when the user does not want to enable the regex option.</p>

<p>Yes, I was also unsure. I'll change that.</p>

Could you maybe use (a subset of) that?</p></blockquote>
<p>I didn't know this menu existed! This deserves a more accessible place which is only one (left) click away. I would say a button on the right side of the text box or so.</p>

<p>Hmm. What exactly where?</p>

<p>Don't worry. I will spend some more time to make this a nice change.</p>

<p>This kind of information should be quick to find: "Tooltip faster than Web Search faster than Kate handbook" :-)</p>

[...]</p></blockquote>
<p>I think with Kare's proposal to show the info only if the button is enabled (or even make the "Add..." menu better accessible) this can be resolved. Let's wait for the next iteration.</p>

<p>What I miss at "What's This" is a hint (preferably directly in the tooltip) which makes clear that a additional Whats-This-entry is available. Currently, it is so tedious to move the mouse around to find hidden What-This entries.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R40 Kate</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D18083">https://phabricator.kde.org/D18083</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>gregormi, Kate<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>dhaumann, loh.tar, sars, kwrite-devel, hase, michaelh, ngraham, demsking, cullmann<br /></div>
