Visual Studio-Code Solutions


Solution 1 - Visual Studio-Code

> editor.hover.enabled: false in settings.json to Tooltip

Click on Edit in settings.json

There are two panes

Default User Settings

"editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "other": false,
    "comments": false,
    "strings": false
  }

User Settings

"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false,
"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
"html.suggest.html5": false,
"editor.snippetSuggestions": "none",

This also can be done UI.

Setting Snippet Suggestions : false

Update August 2018 (version 1.27)

Goto File=>Preference=>Settings

Text Editor => Suggestions

Click on Edit in settings.json

"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false,
"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
"html.suggest.html5": false,

Update your suggest options and save.

New update option

Before August 2018

Goto File=>Preference=>User Settings

You will find settings.json

// Configures if the built-in HTML language support suggests Angular tags and properties.
"html.suggest.angular1": false,

"html.suggest.ionic": false,

"html.suggest.html5": false,

Just find your language and set suggest = false

Update

> Setting to turn off ALL popups

"editor.parameterHints": false

See the settings.json

Solution 2 - Visual Studio-Code

"editor.hover.enabled": false,

is your bulletproof solution. Then you can use CTLR + K, CTLR + I.

Solution 3 - Visual Studio-Code

To hide those hints you can just add "editor.parameterHints": false to your settings.json. Found the answer in here.

Solution 4 - Visual Studio-Code

I find using a larger value for Editor > Hover: Delay (search for "delay" in the settings search bar) does the trick for me. Its default is 300ms. This doesn't address the desire to actually eliminate the tooltips, but having them only appear after, say, 2 seconds, reduces the visual clutter quite a bit for me.

Solution 5 - Visual Studio-Code

On version 1.27.2, I found that only this parameter disabled all the tooltips: "editor.hover.enabled": false.

Solution 6 - Visual Studio-Code

I'm using Visual Studio Code v1.63.0 and in Settings I searched for "hover" and, among other things, found "Editor > Hover: Delay" and "Editor > Hover: Enabled". Unchecking the latter will disable the hover. However, I personally find them useful but they're displayed too quickly so I increased ""Editor > Hover: Delay" from "300" to "5000"

Solution 7 - Visual Studio-Code

Simple way that no one here has mentioned: Code → Preferences → Settings. Search for "hover". Uncheck the checkbox where it says "Editor > Hover: Enabled".

Solution 8 - Visual Studio-Code

Cntrl + shift + P -> Prefences: Open Settings (JSON)

"editor.parameterHints": false,
"editor.hover.enabled": false

i had to do both of these.

Solution 9 - Visual Studio-Code

Here's the noob version, assuming you know little about VS Code (like me).

Windows. VS Code version: 1.37.1

  1. While in VS Code:
    press F1 then type "settings" or "preferences" - then click "Preferences: Open User Settings"
    - or -
    from top menu: File>Preferences>Settings
    - or -
    hotkey: ctrl+,
  2. in the settings pane, type "hover" (no need to press "enter")
  3. the settings pane should display the hover settings immediately
  4. Uncheck "Editor › Hover: Enabled"
    hover disable

Rockstar Version: edit the JSON like a balla

  1. F1 then type "Open Settings (JSON)"
    -or-
    navigate to settings JSON file and open in VS Code
    https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_settings-file-locations
  2. Add this to JSON file (within curly braces, INCLUDE quotes): "editor.hover.enabled": false
    Note: each line needs a comma after it. If you add to top, put a comma after this line. If you add to bottom, add a comma after the previous line.
  3. Don't forget to save!
    what JSON looks like

If you're new to coding, those tooltips can come in handy. You may want instead to just DELAY their appearance as Logan suggested.

Note: I appreciate others have posted almost the EXACT same answer but, as I mentioned, this is the NOOB version that assumes the user has little/no experience with VS Code.

Solution 10 - Visual Studio-Code

for Versions 1.31+ this one line did it for me:

"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false

Solution 11 - Visual Studio-Code

Go to the settings gear wheel in the bottom left hand corner, then go to Settings and search "hover". Uncheck the "Controls whether the hover is shown" box.
