First right-click on
the layer for which you want to show "map tips" and open its
Properties dialog box. On the left, find the "Map tips" tab (a
pale green balloon). In that window, choose the field to display
at the bottom, and click insert to add the field in the window,
then OK.
Now activate the "Show
map tips" option under the "View" menu.
Voila

Hello, all, and thank you for all you do for the QGIS community.
I am posting a question from a colleague in Sweden.
Sorry, don’t have more details than this. Perhaps someone has an
answer?
Thanks,
Scott Madry
In
the old 3.x version of Esri ArcView there was an
easy-to-use labeling tool. By activating it I could first
set up which attribute table column to use for labels, and
then just click on desired objects in the map, and a label
would appear on them, and them only. In the later ArcMap
this feature was removed, and I have not found anything
similar in Qgis either.
When
labeling features in a map every object gets a label via
the layers properties, and I must remove all unwanted ones
manually, which can be a huge job, not to mention
tedious... It had been very easy to instead just mark the
ones I want labeled, as in ArcView 3.x. Of course I am not
sure if it's me who simply has not found that function in
Qgis, but colleagues of mine have not found it either,
so... is there such a function? ;-)
Thanks,
Stefan N.
