Hovering over Nodes/Links displays information
This should probably be some sort of summary of the information that would show up in NodeEdit so that the box doesn't get too big.
Maybe just the first few words of description?
Another option could be to restrict this to links, so that hovering over links is how you see their name.
There might be better ways to start making links selectable, editable, etc though, and we should have a think about them.

@vpontis Any interest in this issue? Right now the focus would be on making hovering over links show the link.name in a tooltip.
Popped up in my feed, and had to comment :)

The main idea is that each user action has a certain intent. If you hover over a node - you're interested to know more about it. If you hover over an edge - you're interested in the relationship. But a relationship without info about the entities it connects isn't enough. Edge hover displays edge content, but also the related nodes, and even better structured as a sentence. Also, as hovering actions doesn't happen in tablets and mobile, it's a good idea to consider alternative actions such as clicking for such a significant action.

You probably haven't seen it since I only just pushed it to the heroku demo, but we have implemented clicked to select links just as one would select nodes.
The hover feature is just something on top of this and would be an alternative to displaying the name/type of the link right along the edge itself.

Yea, I can try to tackle this at some point. It shouldn't be too hard to add a hover action. The name seems like a good start then if we have more room we can try adding a description.
Cool. I'd add this (for now) either as a separate plugin that depends heavily on GraphView or to GraphView itself.
Any reason to limit the info in the hover tip? Should be easily dismissable.
