[FR] Option to disable or timeout sidebar tooltips

[denisfrench]

Only a few months ago, tooltips started appearing on my touchscreen device's sidebar when switching between dashboards.

They do not disappear until I tap elsewhere on the dashboard. I've learnt where to tap to avoid another card opening, but this double-tap process is unintuitive and a little irritating.

It would be great if there were an option to turn off sidebar tooltips, or have them timeout by themselves.

The short discussion here is about the same issue (I'm not a participant in the discussion); https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1o3v0o6/hide_sidebar_tooltip_on_tablet_dashboard/

I understand this may not actually be a custom-sidebar issue. Please close if so, but I would appreciate any pointers as to how to rectify.

Thanks for your ongoing work on this plugin!

Best regards,
Denis.

@denisfrench,
That's right, this is an issue coming from Home Assistant, please vote here.
I'll try to check if this is something easy to fix directly in Home Assistant, it is not something that should be "fixed" in this plugin. If I can find a solution in Home Assistant, I'll submit a pull request and I'll let you know.
