Documentation

Delay before displaying local help.

This is used if help-at-pt-display-when-idle is enabled. The value may be an integer or floating point number.

If a timer is already active, there are two ways to make the new value take effect immediately. After setting the value, you can first call help-at-pt-cancel-timer and then set a new timer with help-at-pt-set-timer. Alternatively, you can set this variable through Custom. This will not set a timer if none is active, but if one is already active, Custom will make it use the new value.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
