Hi Alan,

Indeed I've seen people present for example pieces of XSLT content using 
Oxygen and then a large tooltip window appears while hovering over the 
XSLT content.

In the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Content Completion / Annotations" 
page we have a setting named "Show annotations in tooltips" which should 
disable tooltips when hovering over content in an opened XML document. 
So maybe this will help a bit.

But we do not have a setting to disable tooltips in a way globally, as 
you say in the DITA Maps Manager for example or in the results view. I 
added an internal issue based on your request to maybe add some kind of 
global tooltip off switch.

For doing a demo with Oxygen using a projector to gain more screen space 
you can also use the Oxygen main menu Window->"Hide all toolbars" and 
"Hide editor tabs" actions.

Regards,

Radu
