A toolbar-toggled hover identify tool. When enabled, hovering over a feature on the active layer shows its attributes in a clean floating popup next to the cursor. Hold Ctrl while hovering to query the topmost visible vector layer under the cursor, regardless of which layer is active. Press Shift to pin the popup in place so hyperlinks (web URLs, file paths and UNC shares) become clickable, and Shift again (or Esc) to release it. The mouse wheel scrolls the popup when its content overflows instead of zooming the map. While pinned, footer buttons let you copy the displayed attributes as tab-separated text, copy the feature itself (geometry and attributes) onto the QGIS clipboard like Edit - Copy Features, or edit attribute values inline and save them back to the layer through an undoable edit command. Light and dark popup themes are available (auto-follows the QGIS interface theme by default). Field aliases are respected, fields hidden in the attribute form are not shown, and values are rendered through their editor widget formatters (value maps, dates, checkboxes). Works alongside the current map tool without replacing it.
