That is a recent feature that is so far implemented only for HTML5 canvas and svg terminals (and maybe for "set term win"?). It's on the wishlist for wxt and x11 but I don't know that anyone is actively working on it. > Better still, is there a way of getting the mouseover behaviour to > display the (otherwise hidden) label on a point-by-point basis? Interesting idea. The thing is that currently "mouseover" is only available in the context of a web browser. The wxt and x11 terminals do not offer any way to trigger a mouse event other than clicking. So it would be relatively easy to implement for svg and canvas output, but we're missing a necessary infrastructure to do that in a wxt window. > Brendan
