trigger tooltip for closest series item on hover even if not exactly focused on it

[anoosurf]

What problem does this feature solve?

this makes it very easy for user to move pointer over the closest point to read that tooltip (this is when the tooltip is trigger on 'item' rather than 'axis' ) so there should be an option to show tooltip of closest point .. (especially in line series or scatter) where the symbol is small size and not easy for end user to focus on a single point see the demo of https://www.highcharts.com/demo/spline-irregular-time to get an idea of how smooth /convenient the tooltip on hover should be i believe the logic is already there in place when computing for focused series .. it just needs to be extended to included tooltip showing

What does the proposed API look like?

tooltip:{ trigger : 'item', showNearby : true }

anything on this ? thank u

[anoosurf]

ideally there could be a setting 'hoverOnClosestPoint' and setting it to true ... so the mouse moves anywhere in the series panel.. the closes series/point should be highlighted & tooltip triggered

[anoosurf]

any progress on this ? i think this is one of the main features similar to highcharts.com that can be very user friendly looking forward to an implementation soon

thanks

I tried using useCoarsePointer: true with a larger pointer size, and I still didn't get the desired effect. The hover / tooltip triggering gets jittery when multiple series has overlapping data.
