How do I turn error tooltips back on
Answered
I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut (not sure what it was exactly) and it appears to have turned off the tooltip that shows the details of an error when you hover the mouse cursor over the code. The message appears in the very bottom of the window (see screenshot) or when I press command+F1 but I would like to know how to reenable the behaviour where it appears as a tooltip when I hover over the highlighted token.

Make sure you don't have Power Save mode enabled in the File menu and the highlighting level is set to Inspections:
Ctrl+F1 will display the error details.
Thanks, it looks like those settings are correct though. Power save mode is off and the highlighting level is at "Inspections".
Please share the complete IDE window screenshot and clarify what pop-up no longer appears.
If it doesn't work for any specific inspection, make sure this inspection is not disabled or suppressed: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/disabling-and-enabling-inspections.html .
It looks like after closing the tab and reopening it, I'm getting the expected tooltip again.
I'm not sure what changed but I'm once again seeing tooltips like this upon hovering. Thanks.
This happened to me as well, I stopped getting tooltips on hover for any inspections. That is, some inspection would cause a symbol to be underlined as per usual, but hovering the mouse over the underlined symbol would not result in a tooltip.
I have no idea what caused them to stop showing, but closing the IDE and opening again fixed it.
So there's a bug there somewhere that I assume will be very hard to pin down!
Version info:
David Gilbertson let us know if you find a sequence of actions that cause that.
For some reason my tooltips on hover stopped as well

This is also happening to me, I restarted and the tooltips comeback. I'll look to file a ticket with the debug logs
