a help insight tooltip window pops-up when moving the mouse in the code editor over a symbol. it produces a tooltip window with information about the specific symbol inside, including relevant links to additional information from the on-line help.
you can also get the help insight window in combination with a code insight window, in which case the help insight gives more information about the currently selected code insight item. this can be very helpful if you need to select a property, method or event but need to know which one should be selected for a specific purpose you have in mind.
