thanks in advance for any possible hint/explanation
Connect the uimanager to the connect-proxy signal, there you can set
tooltips to the menuitems.
See in-code for a working implementation.
Note: this maybe can be easier, I just modified it from my code where I
show a statusbar message when the mousepointer goes over the menuitems.
Cheers,

Hi. Sorry for reposting. But it seems strange to me that such an ordinary
feature of Actions/MenuItem tooltip is not known by anybody.
Most of the application I see do have tooltips on menuItems: I can't believe
I should copy tooltips from action to MenuItem by hand...
I've searched in the docs to see if there is a flag that enables them w/o
finding anything.

Hi again,
I use UIManager() + group_action.add_actions() to create MenuItems and
ToolItems. I set tooltips as required by actiongroup.add_actions( 5^ field).
These tooltip show correctly for toolitems but they won't for menu
entries. Is it the desired behaviour? What can I do to have tooltips for
MenuItems as well? Note that
ui_manager.get_action(action_name).props.tooltip
shows the tooltip correctly while *both* menyitem and toolitem don't (but
toolitem shows the tooltip correctly....):
ui_manager.get_widget(menu_entry_name).props.tooltip_text ### None
ui_manager.get_widget(tool_entry_name).props.tooltip_text ### None
.set_tooltip_text() works correctly in menu items, but it's terribly
inconvenient to set them one by one when I already set tooltips in the
actions, I guess I'm missing something!
any hints?
thanks
