You are my new hero 😍 I don't mind the Parameter hints, but the Editor hover was literally just making my life harder when trying to look at some Javascript that I wrote two years ago, trying to remember how it worked. This saved my sanity

Thank you! I use arrow keys to go up and down while typing and this was driving me insane.

Oh good lord .. *THANK YOU!!!* I can actually see the code now! And don't have to wince whenever I move my mouse cursor!
I tried googling this issue for an hour and was gobsmacked to find so many people saying "you're not supposed to want to turn those off" huh?!? And all the settings that people were mentioning did nothing to fix the issue. 🙇‍♂👑

Thank you. In this AI age, its good to find people who still want to type their code.

Same as others. Actually, I'm learning programming, and the popups are really annoying. Thank you!

Just searched this very topic this week. This is very annoying if you are trying to learn some new language by actually typing everything (like me with Dart) 😅
Thanks for the video, you rock.

Doesn't work for html. Anyone have a fix? I've looked all over the web and haven't found one yet.

Thank you for sharing, sadly this didn't work for me, I still get a pop-up box which explains the code... It only turns off the quick-suggestions, but I want to turn off the explanations box. This is so annoying.

[jiajunsun]

what extension did you use to make the hint box transparent?

finally, THE way for me to stop using notepad

For me it was the "parameterHints" that was really annoying and hijacked the arrows keys. Just put this code in settings.json:

"editor.parameterHints": false,
