Triggers

Triggers define the types of events that cause a tooltip to show. A fourth trigger, Manual, is used when you want to programmatically show or hide a tooltip.

Option Default Inputs Role
trigger 'mouseenter focus' 'mouseenter' 'focus' 'click' 'manual' {custom} Specifies which type of events will trigger a tooltip to show. Separate each by a space. mouseenter is for hovering and touch on mobile, and focus is for keyboard navigation. Use manual if you want to show/hide the tooltip manually (see the Methods section below). {custom} refers to the fact that you can have any event listener, but it won't have the opposite "hide" event.
