Yeah. Pretty crazy, eh?

I'm happy just to shut them off, and your suggestion above to simply
return NO works fine.
While I was poking around, I noticed:
- (NSString *)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)ov toolTipForCell:(NSCell
*)cell rect:(NSRectPointer)rect tableColumn:(NSTableColumn
*)tableColumn item:(id)item mouseLocation:(NSPoint)mouseLocation {
if ([ov isEqual:noteOutlineView] && [[tableColumn identifier]
isEqualToString:NOTE_COLUMNID]) {
return [item string];
}
return nil;
}
Does this control whether the "regular" tooltip string is returned for
a Note/Hilite? So I could return nil in all cases to shut all tooltips
off in the Note view column?
Or is there something like shouldShowToolTipForTableColumn that could
return NO? (I guess I could search Apple's documentation for this.)

I see it's in the Skim.app bundle.

I poked around with IB and got the impression that the change would be
non-trivial! :-)
Thanks so much for your help with this. Skim is a really wonderful
application, and I should Paypal you some beer money!
Best, Charles
