Snippet: Show me what is in by an tool tip
.

Often i wonder what an snippet will do.
Therefor i do an EDIT to see what will be happen.


I think it would be more nifty to have an hover tool tip to show me the content.
(Maybe show the first 8 lines only. I will take care to ad a few comments at the top of the snippet for that.)

To not disturb to much perhaps the tool tip should only appear if i hover over the icon, or maybe only show after 0.8 sec. ?

Re: Snippet: Show me what is in by an tool tip
I think the hover tool tips are an great improvement.
Many thanks Yutaka.

Now we can use an abstract snippet description like "my funny snippet"
and can see in the tool tip what the snippet will do exactly.

Today, (2/28/2012) we are releasing EmEditor Professional v11.1.0 beta.
Updates from v11.0.5 include:
NEW FEATURES
- (Snippets plug-in) The Snippets text is now displayed as a tooltip when the mouse hovers on an item of the Snippets tree (Context menu - View - Tooltip must be checked in order to enable this feature).


Note:
Only English, Japanese, and Korean user interfaces are up-to-date.
"View - Tooltip" is not available e.g. in my localized german language file right now.
So, at least for the time to enable the tooltips, use the english language.

Currently the preview of the TEXT field shows the first six lines.

But for some snippets, used to show an text as help in a tool tip only,
i have the need to see the whole text as tool tip.
(like it shows in the document after i have typed the trigger)


Question:
Could there be a check box in the snippet properties box to enable that?
