Display name when hover over plugin icon in QGIS
I have made a QGIS plugin (Python) and when I hover my mouse/cursor over the icon in QGIS the name of the plugin seem to be "Plugins Toolbar". I have searched all .py scripts in the directory of the plugin and can't find any reference to "Plugins Toolbar".
How do I change the name of this "icon text"?

In your plugin.py file (or whatever you named the main file), look inside the initGui() function. You'll want to change the text parameter for the icon::
def initGui(self):
"""Create the menu entries and toolbar icons inside the QGIS GUI."""
icon_path = ':/plugins/example/icon.png'
self.add_action(
icon_path,
text=self.tr(u'Plugin_button'),
callback=self.run,
parent=self.iface.mainWindow())

You are quick, I was writing the same answer :). Just I want to add that the OP should reload the plugin using thePlugin Reloaderto see the changes.

@ahmadhanb - I had my coffee :). Thank you for your tip, the plugin should indeed be reloaded such as with thePlugin Reloader... plugin.
