🙂 I was just not remembering what I saw in C file when I was

typing. But thanks for the tips. I do need to learn more about

how lispy C interacts with lisp; I think I have got some understanding,

but I definitely need to play more. The best hobby 🙂.

Yes, the x-show-tip will need to be modified; my thought was to just

send in the string when Gtk tooltips are enabled, that is why I mean

string-or-buffer as argument. I am back at home on Sunday, so I'll play

with it.

??? The name of the buffer is fixed: " *tip*" (with the leading
space).  You can even switch to it interactively, and see the text
there (it would be the text of the last tootlip displayed), provided
that your build is not GTK, or if it is GTK, you've turned off GTK
tooltips and switched to the native ones.

We'd need to modify the code to stash the tooltip text in some buffer
or variable.
