i auto-hide

Hello, timspeedle.
Would you consider adding an auto-hide feature not only for remote viewing but also for general use?
It would be nice if entities could be automatically hidden when hovered over with the cursor.
I don't have much space on the screen to place them, so I've been using them in places with some space, but they often obstruct my view.
It's okay if you don't agree. I just wanted to make the suggestion.
Thank you for making a good mod.

Hello LabsJ! Thank you for your suggestion!

I want to make sure I'm understanding your suggestion correctly - you want the window to hide itself when the mouse hovers over it, correct? Would you want the window to stay hidden until you manually open it again? Or would you want it to come back after something like 5 seconds automatically?

Thanks!

My explanation was very lacking. Sorry X)

I wanted a mod with the above functionality.
The "Inventory Gauge" window is normally visible, but I want it to automatically disappear when I hover over an entity with my cursor.

I couldn't find a good place to place the "Inventory Gauge" window at the top, left, and bottom, so I placed it at the bottom right.
However, when hovering over an entity, the entity description tooltip on the right is obscured by the "Inventory Gauge" window, which was a bit inconvenient.
That's why I made this suggestion.
I use a translator and, with my limited English, proofread it a bit before posting on the forums.
Please understand my poor English.
Thank you :)

Thank you for that explanation and the link to the other mod - that was very helpful!

I have released 1.3.0 which includes this feature as a new option. You will want to enable the feature by going into the mod settings and checking the box for the "Auto-Hide On Entity Hover" setting, and it will now hide itself whenever you have hovered over something, just like in the Expand Tooltip mod that you linked.

Thanks for the suggestion, I hope this works out for you!
