First release.

Hides the tooltip that appears when you mouse over an action bar button — and nothing else. Bag items, equipped gear, the spellbook, the quest tracker and unit frames all keep their tooltips.

How it works: action bar buttons fill their mouseover tooltip via GameTooltip:SetAction(slot), while bags use SetBagItem, gear uses SetInventoryItem, and the spellbook uses SetSpellBookItem. Post-hooking SetAction alone therefore targets hotbar tooltips exclusively. The hook uses hooksecurefunc, which cannot taint the secure code path, so it is safe in and out of combat.

Usage

Command Effect
/hht Toggle hotbar tooltips on or off

The setting is saved per account in HideHotbarTooltipsDB and persists across sessions.

Installation

Download HideHotbarTooltips-v1.0.0.zip and extract the HideHotbarTooltips folder into World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/, then restart the client or /reload.

Compatibility

Built against Interface 120007 (retail).
