TooltipMover

Pin your tooltip to one spot on screen, once, and forget about it.

TooltipMover gives you a small draggable crosshair. Drop it wherever you want tooltips to appear, pin it in place, and every tooltip — item, unit, spell, whatever — shows up centered there instead of following your cursor around the screen.

Why

The default tooltip follows your mouse, which constantly repositions itself over whatever you're trying to look at and can clip off awkward screen edges depending on where you're hovering. A fixed, predictable spot is easier to read at a glance without the tooltip ever covering something you need to see.

Features

• Zero dependencies. No libraries, no Ace3, nothing else to download — a single lightweight file.
• Drag to position, right-click to pin. Move the crosshair where you want it, right-click it (or /tooltipmover lock) to pin the position and hide the crosshair.
• Pick which corner of the tooltip lands there. Defaults to bottom-right (the tooltip grows up and to the left from the pinned spot) — switch to any of the 9 standard corners with a one-word command.
• Saved per character. Your pinned position and chosen corner are remembered across logins and reloads.
• Doesn't touch the tooltip otherwise. TooltipMover only changes where the tooltip anchors — it doesn't reskin, resize, or otherwise modify it, so it works alongside any UI setup.

Usage

• /tooltipmover (or /tmover) — toggle pinned/unpinned
• /tooltipmover unlock — show the crosshair so you can drag it
• /tooltipmover lock — pin the current position and hide the crosshair
• /tooltipmover reset — clear the saved position back to screen center
• /tooltipmover point <corner> — set which tooltip corner anchors to the crosshair (TOPLEFT, TOP, TOPRIGHT, LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT, BOTTOMLEFT, BOTTOM, BOTTOMRIGHT)
• Shorthand for the same thing: /tooltipmover br, tl, tr, bl, t, b, l, r, c

Compatibility

Works with the default Blizzard tooltip (GameTooltip) out of the box via the standard GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor hook — compatible alongside other tooltip addons that don't fight over the same anchor.
