IntelliJ shows method parameter hints on usage - How to disable it

JavaIntellij Idea

Java Problem Overview

I am new to IntelliJ and recently updated to IntelliJ-2016.3.
In the editor for Java code, it shows the method signature upon usage. How do I disable this feature?

Here's an example of a method's signature and its call site: enter image description here

Method call:

This behavior was not there in 2016.1.4 version. I am seeing this after update.
Any help is appreciated!

Solution 3 - Java

I find it helpful to use a shortcut such as P + shift + command to toggle parameter type hinting as needed. I don't want it disabled entirely.

  1. open preferences
  2. click Keymap
  3. filter by parameter
  4. double click on Toggle parameter name hints
  5. enter key combination ie, P + shift + command
  6. Apply and Ok
  7. Now the key combo will toggle hints for you.

Solution 4 - Java

From the what's new page:

>Parameter hints >---------------

>The editor now shows parameter hints for literals and nulls used as method arguments. These hints make code much more readable.

>If you find hints redundant for a certain method, you can tell the IDE not to show hints for this method. To disable hints completely, uncheck Settings → Editor → General → Appearance → Show parameter name hints.

(emphasis is mine)

Solution 5 - Java

Others have already answered this, but here is a way of finding it without jumping into menus.

Try hitting ⌘ + Shift + A on Mac or CTRL + SHIFT + A on Linux and type the Show parameter name hints into the search bar.

Show parameter appears when searching from the Action/Option name search bar

Solution 6 - Java

In latest version you can find it under Settings → Editor → Inlay Hints

Solution 7 - Java

  1. ⌘ + Shift + A
  2. Type Inlay Hints
  3. Make sure that the language of your choice has Types set up properly!!! Here's an example for Kotlin: Inlay Hints settings

Solution 8 - Java

As of 2022, it's been renamed to "inlay hints"

You can disable it by pressing shift + shift, then type inlay hints and then disable it.
