Look at the picture, currently the tip only shows when my mouse hover the icon, and I really wish the tip could always shows under the icon.

Because the icon is not clearly enough to describe its function, and the text tip is more clearly. For example, in the picture I upload, the "Stamp Brush" icon do not like a stamp, it looks like a game joystick

I am not familiar with tiled now, and I have to move my house and hover it on each icon to see what's the functionality of the icon

Research direction

Start by locating the Tiled editor code that creates the icon tooltips and reviewing the existing hover behavior. Determine where an option for continuously showing the tips belongs, then verify that enabling it keeps the requested text visible under the icons while the default behavior remains unchanged.
