Otherwise the feature is a bit obscure... Closes #17658.
(The newline in the tooltip works at least with qt/wx/tk/gtk (but wx needs #17686 too), can't test macos locally.)

I love this feature, and didn't know it existed. But, ugh, you sure don't want to use those modifiers in a Jupiter notebook. x cuts the current cell, even clearly using the plot GUI. Not even sure where to report that or what to do about it, other than change my rcParam...

tooltip doesn't change for macosx... I think it also has to change in _macosx.m (line 1161)

Let's see whether I can manage to make the osx backend also use the tooltips from the base class...

I don't think so:

Well I can't actually test macosx code locally, I was just going to abuse CI (which does test instantiating a macosx window) to iterate until either it works or I give up...

Did you recompile? CI seems happy. (I would be amazed to have been able to write the extension code right on the first try, though...)

Yes, I did recompile after cleaning out the build directory. Not sure what is wrong.
