Truncated Text Tooltip
A list of rows truncated with an ellipsis: hovering or tabbing to a row reveals its full text in a tooltip — the layout's truncation never loses the content.
React + Tailwind, shadcn-compatible: press “Copy for AI” and your Cursor or Claude Code agent installs it with the shadcn CLI.
What you can change
- the list of names through items — each one gets its own tooltip automatically
- the caption under the list through note
- the component background through background — empty means no background, taking the page colour
A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ
- How do I add Truncated Text Tooltip with Cursor or Claude Code?
- Press “Copy for AI” on this page and paste it into your agent's chat. The instruction contains the shadcn CLI install command, the dependencies and what to keep, so the agent installs this exact component instead of recreating a lookalike.
- What does Truncated Text Tooltip depend on?
- No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
- What can I change in Truncated Text Tooltip?
- Adapt: the list of names through items — each one gets its own tooltip automatically; the caption under the list through note; the component background through background — empty means no background, taking the page colour. Keep as installed: the local --vibeui-tooltip-017-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens; tabIndex={0} on the truncated row — without it there is no way to reach it by keyboard at all; aria-describedby tying the row to the tooltip regardless of its visibility.
- Is Truncated Text Tooltip free?
- Yes. The preview is open without an account; with a free account you can copy up to 20 components a month.

Technical notes
The component is self-contained: one file, no dependencies, its own palette in local variables --vibeui-tooltip-017-*. The row gets tabIndex={0} because truncated text is not focusable on its own, by mouse or keyboard — without that attribute the tooltip would only be reachable by a cursor. Appearance is held by :hover and :focus-within on the row wrapper, so no JS is needed and the component stays a server component. The tooltip is marked role="tooltip" and tied to the cell through aria-describedby, and its width matches the row (width:100% of [data-part="item"]) rather than the viewport, so a nearly full-width row never widens the page on a narrow screen.
