I recently upgraded from 1.8 to 2.0.4 and the editor is driving me crazy with autocompletes, suggestions/mouse hovering info. How can I disable all that stuff to have a simple editor? I have quick suggestions turned off. I searched and found something about "editor.hover.enabled" but I can't find that in the advanced settings.
auto indent was bugging me out..
the below helped..
unwanted cursor movement
have fun.. ~q

I don't want to enable it, but disable. I have Editor quick suggestions turned off.
Hi @gquiring. Here are the instructions:
Disabling Parameter Hint
- Press the Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+P for macOS users) to open the "Command Palette".
A menu will appear on the editor toolbar:
- Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command from the menu.
ⓘ You can scroll down through the list of commands to find it or type the name in the field.
A "Preferences" tab will open in the Arduino IDE main panel. - Type
editor.parameterHints.enabledin the "Search Settings" field of the "Preferences" tab. - Uncheck the box under the "Editor › Parameter Hints: Enabled**" setting.
- Close the Preferences tab by clicking its X icon.
Triggering Parameter Hint
Even though it is annoying and distracting to have this "Parameter Hint" appear automatically, it can sometimes be useful to get information about the code. Even after you disable the "Editor › Parameter Hints: Enabled" setting, you can still manually trigger the appearance of the suggestion via a keyboard shortcut. I'll provide instructions for that:
- Place the cursor inside the parentheses of the function call you want parameter information about.
- Press the Ctrl+Shift+Space keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+Space for macOS users).
The hint will now appear.
The "Trigger Parameter Hints" keyboard shortcut is configurable. You can change it by opening File > Advanced > Keyboard Shortcuts from the Arduino IDE menus.
Disabling Editor Hover
- Press the Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+P for macOS users) to open the "Command Palette".
A menu will appear on the editor toolbar:
- Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command from the menu.
ⓘ You can scroll down through the list of commands to find it or type the name in the field.
A "Preferences" tab will open in the Arduino IDE main panel. - Type
editor.hover.enabledin the "Search Settings" field of the "Preferences" tab. - Uncheck the box under the "Editor › Hover: Enabled**" setting.
- Close the Preferences tab by clicking its X icon.
Triggering Editor Hover
Even though it is annoying and distracting to have this "hover" appear automatically, it can sometimes be useful to get information about the code. Even after you disable the "Editor › Hover: Enabled" setting, you can still manually trigger the appearance of the hover via a keyboard shortcut. I'll provide instructions for that:
- Place the cursor on the object you want a "hover" for.
- Press Ctrl+K on your keyboard (Command+K for macOS users).
- Release the keys on your keyboard.
- Press Ctrl+I on your keyboard (Command+I for macOS users).
- Release the keys on your keyboard.
The hover will now appear.
The "Show Hover" keyboard shortcut is configurable. You can change it by opening File > Advanced > Keyboard Shortcuts from the Arduino IDE menus.
You can also look around through the other advanced settings to see if there are any more things you would like to configure.

In my IDE 2.0.2 it is not necessary to release the keys between the K and I sequence. I can press and hold ctrl + k + i (in that order) and get the same response.
Ctrl+K+I
Even though it works, I don't think holding all three simultaneously makes sense ergonomically, but a more efficient procedure than the one I described would be:
- Press Ctrl+K on your keyboard (Command+K for macOS users).
- Release the K key.
- Press the I key.
