   • I tried a different approach for the model picker: one shared tooltip that moves to the hovered row and swaps its content, instead of a tooltip per row.
   • Also feel like when the tool tip is on the group label, it shouldn't disappear.
   • Also played around with an easing version of this

   Opened it as a draft for comparison with #50813: #52454 (draft pr)

   Thanks for the report! The request is to make moving between neighbouring tooltips (model picker rows, composer attachments) feel instant: once one tooltip is showing, the next one should appear without a new delay or fade animation.

   Some context from the current dev branch:

   • The delay part has mostly been addressed by fix(ui): open neighbouring tooltips without the full delay #58971, which makes the skip-delay window work so a neighbouring tooltip opens without the full delay. The tooltips on the v2 model picker rows already open with no delay.
   • Each tooltip still plays its own fade-out and fade-in when you move between them. That's how the tooltip component is currently built, so I'm treating the instant handoff as a UX improvement rather than a bug.

   Related:

   • fix(ui): make grouped tooltip handoffs instant #50813: your earlier PR adding an opt-in tooltip group. It was closed when dev moved to v2, with an invitation to port it, so it could be reopened against the current code.
   • fix(ui): open neighbouring tooltips without the full delay #58971: the merged fix for the neighbouring-tooltip delay.
   • Tab preview popover opens after 2s, 5x slower than our own tooltips #51738: a separate report about the tab preview popover delay.

   Maintainers will consider this.
