Using and Comparing Automation Tools: Keyboard Maestro, Alfred, LaunchBar, etc

You can set the tooltip delay globally with…

defaults write -g NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 1000

1000 = 1000ms = 1s (which seems to be the default)

…or just for KM with…

defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.editor NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 1000
