I would like the taskbar to show tooltips when I click on grouped tasks. However, I do not want tooltips shown on hover. At the moment this is not possible, but I do not see why not. Can we allow tooltips to show on clicked groups independently of the hover setting?
Probably. I think the reason why this is a configurable option at all was bet-hedging when the tooltips feature was first introduced, as maybe we thought people wouldn't like it or didn't think the code was fully ready for prime time or something. Classic KDE lack of confidence about our software. :)

Git commit 3b94e9cd124d698e2774a8f3629f26b54547d314 by Nate Graham. Committed on 26/12/2022 at 15:37. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. applets/taskmanager: always allow using tooltips for grouped tasks Right now you can only use tooltips to switch between grouped tasks if they are enabled for hover too. This seems like an arbitrary limitation, and also results in an awkward UI in which you can disable tooltips for hover and enable them for switching between grouped tasks, but when you do so, you see a message that says "sorry, this is an invalid combination of settings!" Well, let's make it not be an invalid combination of settings! This commit does just that, allowing a new combination of settings that users have requested while removing an awkward UI and reducing code complexity.
