two_tooltip enable
Enables tooltips. This is the default.
two_tooltip on
Same as two_tooltip enable.

Query or set the delay. The delay is in milliseconds and must be at least 50. Returns the delay.

Query or set the duration of the tooltip (how long is the tooltip visible). The duration is in milliseconds and must be at least 50. Returns the duration.
two_tooltip <widget> ?options?
