It would be so helpful to have native tooltips on floating menu buttons. I would like to enter my own tooltip text there.
Some of my buttons are quite nondescript and a native tooltip would be so nice.

I have also thought I need this feature several times....
That should be easy to add, I'll look into it!

I'd be so happy!
Me too!
Thanks @Andreas_Hegenberg
@Andreas_Hegenberg I understand if there are higher prio things on your list but if you have time for this it would be so appreciated!
This would be pretty useful. A customizable delay would be extra nice, to only show the tooltip if the button is hovered for 2 seconds for example.
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for a great app and all the time and effort that you spend on it! 
I'm also very interested in a customizable tooltip for the buttons in the floating menus, triggered after hovering over a button for a user-defined amount of time.
Can you give us any indication if you are interested in implementing this at all?
good point. I initially discarded this because the system native tooltips won't work with BTT floating menus due to technical limitations.
However with v5.434 I added custom tooltips, you can enable them like this: "Use Identifier As Tooltip"

Hi Andreas,
On a 30 x 30 pixel button, the tooltip doesn't extend outside of the button, the example attached should read "Eject All"
Please consider making the text custom rather than using the identifier
They are limited to the bounds of the containing button, I probably can’t change that, but I can make the font go smaller for auch cases
Sorry to hear the constraints are tied to the button size — it’s actually the smaller buttons that would benefit most from having a tooltip.
Usually a name for an identifier is short and can have an structure with prefixes or suffixes that matches the user logic of its own configuration.
In the other hand, a tooltip is useful to explain the function of the button, but also for additional info in the same tooltip. So it could be longer than the identifier.
I would suggest to add a section for the tooltip, with two controls:
1- Custom Tooltip Text: field to enter a custom text to be shown
2- Tooltip Configuration: dropdown menu with the options "Use Custom Tooltip Text", "Use Identifier As Tooltip" and "Don't Show Any Tooltip"

I would like to add three additonal controls to the previous suggestion:
3- Delay: seconds for waiting the tooltip to be shown
4- Font: set font type and font size
5- Colors: set background and font colors

you can adjust the delay using this terminal command while BTT is quit:
defaults write com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool BTTFloatingMenuTooltipDelay 0.5
Default is 1 (second)
More customization options will probably come in a future update but with lower priority.

Thanks @Andreas_Hegenberg for the terminal code, it works perfect to change the delay.
Also thank you to add the drop-down menu for entering a tooltip description separetely from the identifier name, that's perfect!
glad I found this 
Thanks for adding, Andreas! It's working great!
