Problem

I want to share my screen and show an execution plan but when I hover my mouse over an operator and what to point to something with my mouse in the tooltip then it disappears. Is there a way to make a stay open while I point the mouse on some info on it?

Thanks

Solution

Depending on the context, it might make more sense for you to use the Properties tab than the tool tip.

If you hit f4, or right click and choose Properties, you should see equivalent information (and more) show up in a pane on the right side of the screen.

This may not meet all of your immediate needs, and there may be cases where you need to expand several other nodes within the Properties tab, but it should cover most scenarios.
