Disable hover in editor

[misantronic]

• VSCode Version: 1.9.0
• OS Version: macOS 10.12.2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write a function
2. Reference it somewhere
3. Mouse-Hover the function pops up a little box with informations

Just as described in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/editingevolved#_hover

Is there a way to disable it or at least set a delay?
I find myself in many situations where this just blocks my view.

Unofficial (hence the squiggle you'll get), but here goes: "editor.hover": false

[misantronic]

Works quite well, thank you!

Its not that the hover-informations are bad, they just pop up everywhere :)
I would suggest to add a delay-option to keep the popup-rate low.

[alexdima]

It isn't user configurable, the delays is hard-coded to 300ms.

Incredible. I was just looking for this. The HTML and CSS hovers are way too verbose. I've been working with CSS for a while, I know what background does 😄

What would be better is if the popups could be triggered by some other, more intentional means, such as a keyboard shortcut. I'd hazard a guess that 95% of the time, the user wants information provided by the popup after actively deciding to find it. The hover action does not convey this degree of intention.

At least on linux it is ctrl+k ctrl+i. Look for F1 > Show Hover

Brilliant 👍 Thank you.

I get an error-message when doing so:
Cannot read property 'startShowingAt' of undefined

@misantronic Confirmed. Reloading the window does not resolve the issue.
