[Discuss] turning off tool tip messages in x-emacs

[Daniel M German]

 pw  twisted the bytes to say:


 pw> Hello,

 pw> Does anyone know what keystrokes **turn off** the annoying  tool tip
 pw> messages that pop up over the mouse in x-emacs?

I am not sure if what you refer to is the "tooltip mode". You can
always disable it by doing 

ESC -1 meta-x tooltip-mode

or create your own keystroke sequence using global-set-key

You can also use the menu 

<menu-bar> <options> <showhide> <showhide-tooltip-mode>

----------------------------------------------------------------------0
Toggle Tooltip mode.
With ARG, turn Tooltip mode on if and only if ARG is positive.
When this minor mode is enabled, Emacs displays help text
in a pop-up window for buttons and menu items that you put the mouse on.
(However, if `tooltip-use-echo-area' is non-nil, this and
all pop-up help appears in the echo area.)

When Tooltip mode is disabled, Emacs displays one line of
the help text in the echo area, and does not make a pop-up window.

 pw> Thanks,

 pw> Peter
