Setting delay of map tips in QGIS?

Question

Is it possible to set the delay timer when hovering the cursor over maptips?

It seems like there's a one second delay as shown below but I would like to have it appear instantly instead.

Using QGIS 2.18.17 and 3.0.1.

It is possible to set the map tip delay from QGIS 3.2:

Answer 2

You can not change it in the GUI, as it is hard-coded. We can see in qgisapp.cpp, createMapTips()

 // set the interval to 0.850 seconds - timer will be started next time the mouse moves
  mpMapTipsTimer->setInterval( 850 );
