Project: QGIS
Version: 3.30
A new option allows for the use of the identify tool to be triggered on mouse movement, without needing to click on the canvas.
This option behaves almost identically to the default identify option, with the difference being that the user doesn't need to click or use a keyboard shortcut to trigger the identify action. This allows the identify tool to function similar to the MapTips utility, whilst providing users with the benefits of the identify tool such as support for multiple layer types and derived information.
The default trigger is a 300-millisecond timer which will execute the identify action, which is implemented to avoid performance issues when moving the mouse.
