What to do when outline's text is not visible in tree pane?

[gar]

Tree pane with outline has some finite width. And outline text may exceed this width so that only some part of the text is only visible at the moment.

Other tools/editors usually show popup/balloon with full text when mouse hovers over such a node. And this helps significantly.

But Leo user has to resize the whole pane to see the text - and even that may be not enough.

Selecting the node may help since status line tries to display the text - but it may be not enough too.

Then the only way to see what's in there is to copy the text and paste it to somewhere what can fit it all.

Is there any way to see the whole text of the outline in the case it is hidden cause of small pane's width 

- *not* selecting the node

- *not* resizing the pane

- *not* copying the text in the clipboard and pasting it to text editor (in the worst cases with really long lines like paths etc)

?

At one point I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to add a tooltip to a headline.

My poor python skills were simply not up to the task.

same with me.
looks like there's no way to do it easy.

Example tooltips can be found in nav_qt.py (plugin) and in LeoPy.leo somewhere around the LeoTabbedTopLevel code, if I recall correctly.

Bolting those examples onto headlines is another matter. I spent a lot of time trying things and then "git stash" to restore functioning code.

I've just created #1310 for this.

Anyone want to work on this?

I will have another go. I will be asking questions this time. :-)

Thanks!  The place to look is likely qtree.createTreeItem.
