well, faking a QHelpEvent works. I wish there was a way to tell it to hide a 
tooltip as well, so it could go away when I hit esc. I mean, I've changed the 
text by that point, if it's not going to update the text it should at least 
have the decency to hide the old text...

anyways I'm still not quite satisfied with the tooltip text itself.
what I have right now:
a button in one of the plugin rows: "Click to change how an action is 
triggered"
the add button at the bottom: "Add another mouse action"
either kind of button when it's wanting input: "Hold down the modifier keys you 
want, then click a mouse button or scroll a mouse wheel here"

I'm wondering if maybe there should only be a tooltip when it wants input.
try it out, see how it feels.
