On showing the working set tooltip when switching documents

Hey all, esp. David!

While I like the idea of showing the working set tooltip when switching 
documents with e.g. CTRL + ALT + LEFT|RIGHT, it is quite annoying at the same 
time:

1) it shows a possible *huge* tooltip, with quite contrasting colors
2) it is shown too long, imo it *must* hide as soon as I release all buttons. 
And maybe it should only be shown when I press e.g. CTRL + ALT for some time. 
Like this:

CTRL + ALT + LEFT (no popup)
keep CTRL + ALT pressed (=> popup is shown after XYZmsec delay)
CTRL + ALT released (=> popup is hidden)

this is of course hard to implement with configurable shortcuts.

But can it at least be hidden as soon as I release all modifiers of that 
action? The current implementation is too much noise for too long imo.

If this is not possible, I'm actually *in favor* of removing this feature 
again. Lets rather scroll the tabbar better to always have the selected tab in 
the middle. If you want to find something in a list, use CTRL + TAB or 
quickopen...

Bye
