Description talfi 2010-04-30 05:06:28 UTC 
When I actually open a php project, I often hover the tabs on the top of the main screen.
A very useful feature when having lots of tabs is the tooltip : when I hover tabs, I can get the fullpath of the desired file.
It is a lot of gain time feature.
Unfortunately, most of the time, the tooltip disappears before I can read and memorize the fullpath.

And so the only solution I have is to move out the tab, wait a little and hover again, trying to memorize the path.
Sometime I give it 3 or 4 try before I can really get the fullpath in mind.

A cool feature would be to parameterize the tooltip lifetime,
or just stick the tooltip until we mouse out.

Please if this feature already exists tell me where it is because I didn't find it.

Netbeans is great, I love it!
Thanks for the time you spend enhance it.

Not PHP specific, IMHO enhancement. Please evaluate, thanks.
