-1 That "novice mode" should be deprecated and removed in the long term. It makes no sense to make that binary decision between novice and non-novice.

You can surely hack out that tooltip for your screenshot scenario. No need to have this in Trunk.

Yet, I think you are on to something. Maybe a time-out for that balloon text?

Best,

A new version of Morphic was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Morphic-ct.1846.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Morphic-ct.1846
Author: ct
Time: 12 January 2022, 9:27:12.594139 pm
UUID: 0bf19b8c-e7ea-7145-9a79-b76aaaaa2543
Ancestors: Morphic-ct.1845

Proposal: Display that tedious "Enter text to narrow selection" tooltip only if novice mode is enabled.

Many of us might not have noticed this balloon text any more that appears every time you open a menu (unless #menuKeyboardControl is disabled), but it still is irrelevant for non-novice users and sometimes occludes other relevant information, for instance, during screenshots.
