    I don't really understand how it should work
    Here's my code:

    for name, values in self.regex.items():
                self.formats[name] = QTextCharFormat()
    
                if name == "class":
                    self.formats[name].setFontWeight(QFont.Bold)
    
                elif name == "function":
                    self.formats[name].setFontItalic(True)
    
                elif name == "magic":
                    self.formats[name].setFontItalic(True)
                elif name == "F_bool":
                    self.formats[name].setToolTip("Hello world!"
    

    F_bool is a QTextCharFormat which matches the word "False" in my editor.
    When hovering over the word in the editor, is it supposed to show a tooltip?
    Because it isn't showing anything right now.

      Hi,

      What version of PyQt are you using ?
      On what platform ?
      Can you please provide a complete python example to test that ?

        I'm using PyQt5 and I'm on Linux.

        I have a QPlainTextEdit which has a syntax highlighter on it and after searching google I found this stackoverflow question which is pretty recent:

        https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54046226/how-to-get-working-settooltip-from-qtextcharformat-inside-qsyntaxhighlighter

        I will give a working example that you can test tomorrow!

          Also, how did you installed it ?
