In Visual Studio Code (VS Code), hover tooltips are a feature that displays additional information, such as variable types or function definitions when you hover your mouse over the code.
If you find these hover tooltips distracting, you can disable them by following these steps:
-
Open Settings: First, open VS Code, then click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner and select 'Settings' (or open the settings interface using the shortcut
Ctrl + ,). -
Search for Hover Settings: In the settings search bar, type 'hover', which will filter settings related to hover tooltips.
-
Disable Hover Tooltips: In the search results, locate the 'Editor: Hover' setting (it may appear as 'Editor: Hover' in English), and there will be a checkbox next to it. Uncheck this checkbox to disable hover tooltips.
Additionally, you can adjust 'Editor: Hover Delay' to increase the delay before hover tooltips appear, reducing how frequently they show up.
- Save and Close Settings: After making changes, close the settings interface; your modifications will be saved automatically.
By following these steps, you can effectively control or disable hover tooltips in VS Code to minimize interference during programming.
If certain hover tooltips are valuable in your daily workflow, consider increasing the hover delay instead of completely disabling them to strike a balance—gaining useful information while avoiding excessive interruptions.
