Tooltip always in the way in scripting

Does anyone else get annoyed with the tooltip always covering up what your are trying to work on?

Run one of the following script in the Script Console in the designer

To set the tooltip delay:

from javax.swing import ToolTipManager
tipManager = ToolTipManager.sharedInstance()
tipManager.setInitialDelay(2000)

To turn off tooltips altogether (Do this to keep from getting tooltips in the tag browser)

from javax.swing import ToolTipManager
tipManager = ToolTipManager.sharedInstance()
tipManager.enabled = False

What would be kind of a good middle-ground solution is making sure the tooltip is always at the top so it doesn't cover the current line of code you're writing ?

Something similar to what already exists for Perspective when it comes to tooltips but I do not know if that's doable in Swing.

yes, this and when tabbing from a style keyword and it moves up in the sorting, so you don't actually tab into the value of it.
