How to disable the function helper in the IDE?

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Hi,
it is annoying as hell, when that stupid pop up window pop's up in the editor directly over the code I just wanted to edit. Does anyone know how to disable this "tool tip" helper or whatever it is called that pops up when you hover over a function?

Help much appreciated.

Hi @newgen23. This feature is referred to as the "editor hover". It can be disabled in the IDE's advanced settings. I'll provide instructions:

  1. Press the Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+P for macOS users) to open the "Command Palette".
  2. Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command from the menu.
  3. A "Preferences" tab will now open in the Arduino IDE main panel. In the "Search Settings" field, type editor.hover.enabled
  4. Uncheck the checkbox under the "Editor › Hover: Enabled" setting.
  5. Close the Preferences tab by clicking its X icon.
