Accessibility Tooltips? How to display tooltips
When using the accessibility features of PBI https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-accessibility-keyboard-shortcuts
Is there anyway to trigger a tooltip? The type that you see when you mouse over a data point in a visual?
I can't locate anyway to enage the "mouse over" effect that makes a tooltip pop up.

sasdfasdfsad Try tabbing onto a visual like a Table visual. Now click the Enter key. Then tab to an individual cell and see if that triggers the tooltip.
This is on a New Card Visual, but yeah I can't seem to get it to trigger 😞
sasdfasdfsad I tried this with a Table visual and also could not get it to trigger. Interesting that is not supported. It is supposed to be Ctrl-H but I could only get that to work on a Table visual column header, which is not entirely helpful or likely what you want. I also tried Ctrl-I (upper-case i) and still could not get anything.
Power BI doesn't currently support triggering data point tooltips via keyboard or accessibility shortcuts. Hover-based tooltips require mouse interaction.
Workaround: Use dynamic cards or visuals that respond to selections to mimic tooltip behavior for keyboard users.As Shahid12523 mentioned below as this is currently not support scenario. I’d encourage you to submit your detailed feedback and ideas via Microsoft's official feedback channels, such as the Microsoft Fabric Ideas.
