How can I disable the default tooltip hint message in VSCode? It's annoying sometimes.
editor.hover.enabled: false in settings.json to Tooltip
Click on Edit in settings.json
There are two panes
Default User Settings
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"other": false,
"comments": false,
"strings": false
}
User Settings
"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false,
"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
"html.suggest.html5": false,
"editor.snippetSuggestions": "none",
This also can be done UI.
Setting Snippet Suggestions : false
Update August 2018 (version 1.27)
Goto File=>Preference=>Settings
Text Editor => Suggestions
Click on Edit in settings.json
"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false,
"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
"html.suggest.html5": false,
Update your suggest options and save.
Before August 2018
Goto File=>Preference=>User Settings
You will find settings.json
// Configures if the built-in HTML language support suggests Angular tags and properties.
"html.suggest.angular1": false,
"html.suggest.ionic": false,
"html.suggest.html5": false,
Just find your language and set suggest = false

is your bulletproof solution. Then you can use CTLR + K, CTLR + I.
To hide those hints you can just add "editor.parameterHints": false to your settings.json. Found the answer in here.
I find using a larger value for Editor > Hover: Delay (search for "delay" in the settings search bar) does the trick for me. Its default is 300ms. This doesn't address the desire to actually eliminate the tooltips, but having them only appear after, say, 2 seconds, reduces the visual clutter quite a bit for me.
On version 1.27.2, I found that only this parameter disabled all the tooltips: "editor.hover.enabled": false.
I'm using Visual Studio Code v1.63.0 and in Settings I searched for "hover" and, among other things, found "Editor > Hover: Delay" and "Editor > Hover: Enabled". Unchecking the latter will disable the hover. However, I personally find them useful but they're displayed too quickly so I increased ""Editor > Hover: Delay" from "300" to "5000"
Simple way that no one here has mentioned: Code → Preferences → Settings. Search for "hover". Uncheck the checkbox where it says "Editor > Hover: Enabled".
Cntrl + shift + P -> Prefences: Open Settings (JSON)
"editor.parameterHints": false,
"editor.hover.enabled": false
i had to do both of these.
Here's the noob version, assuming you know little about VS Code (like me).
Windows.
VS Code version: 1.37.1
While in VS Code:
press F1 then type "settings" or "preferences" - then click "Preferences: Open User Settings"
- or -
from top menu: File>Preferences>Settings
- or -
hotkey: ctrl+,
in the settings pane, type "hover" (no need to press "enter")
the settings pane should display the hover settings immediately
Uncheck "Editor › Hover: Enabled"
hover disable
Rockstar Version: edit the JSON like a balla
F1 then type "Open Settings (JSON)"
-or-
navigate to settings JSON file and open in VS Code
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_settings-file-locations
Add this to JSON file (within curly braces, INCLUDE quotes): "editor.hover.enabled": false
Note: each line needs a comma after it. If you add to top, put a comma after this line. If you add to bottom, add a comma after the previous line.
Don't forget to save!

If you're new to coding, those tooltips can come in handy. You may want instead to just DELAY their appearance as Logan suggested.

Note: I appreciate others have posted almost the EXACT same answer but, as I mentioned, this is the NOOB version that assumes the user has little/no experience with VS Code.
for Versions 1.31+ this one line did it for me:
"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false
Go to the settings gear wheel in the bottom left hand corner, then go to Settings and search "hover". Uncheck the "Controls whether the hover is shown" box.
Arrrg!!!
Hope this helps others. Running with v1.72.1. For the life of me was trying all the different settings, options, suggesting and couldn't get the tooltip help disabled... Coffee might have been my solution, finally noticed in the tooltip window there is an 'x' in the upper right corner for a close, clicking it. WOW! It worked and seems to have persisted my desire to dismiss them. I wanted them gone.... Perfect!!! Thinking about it, don't see a way to get them back if someone might actually want them back. VS Code is nice for a lot of stuff, but pretty bad for some of it's design and usability...
If you are not looking for disable and as mentioned by user: Darrell Brogdon above, if you want to delay the hover time of tooltip as solution then simply add the below line in user settings with your desired time value.
replace value 3000 as per your need.
Note: hover settings are moved in Online Services Settings in newer versions, hence you might not be able to find it with search 'hover' in user settings.
// modify in Preferences --> Settings or settings.json
"editor.hover.delay": 3000,

I've been trying to disable suggestions in VSC by changing the following in settings.json, but it hasnt works for me. What am I doing wrong?
// OPTIONAL WORD WRAPPING
// Controls if lines should wrap. The lines will wrap at min(editor.wrappingColumn, viewportWidthInColumns).
"editor.wordWrap": "off",
// Controls the indentation of wrapped lines. Can be one of 'none', 'same' or 'indent'.
"editor.wrappingIndent": "none",
// TURN OFF AUTOCOMPLETION
// Controls if quick suggestions should show up or not while typing
"editor.quickSuggestions": false,
// Controls the delay in ms after which quick suggestions will show up
"editor.quickSuggestionsDelay": 90,
// Enables parameter hints
"editor.parameterHints": false,
// Controls if the editor should automatically close brackets after opening them
"editor.autoClosingBrackets": false,
// Controls if the editor should automatically format the line after typing
"editor.formatOnType": false,
// Controls if suggestions should automatically show up when typing trigger characters
"editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false,
// Controls if suggestions should be accepted 'Enter' - in addition to 'Tab'. Helps to avoid ambiguity between inserting new lines or accepting suggestions.
"editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off"
}```
I just copy pasted your settings into my settings.json file and hit save. It worked for me, no more intellisense. Did you edit the file with VS Code and then hit "save" ? If it didn't work, then maybe try reinstalling vs code and try again. My bet is that you didn't save. Also, I opened the file by first going into settings and then clicking on one of the selections that said "edit in settings.json." Another thing that I had to do was after I hit save on the settings.json I also had to go back into settings and manually uncheck all of these options:
search for "suggestions"
Try adding this line to settings.json. Not a permanent fix, but can act as a temporary one.
The line:
"editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false
What I want to achieve is as follows:
Disable ALT to show menu bar by toggle-menu-bar completely.
-> Potentially map ALT to a NULL action?
Use a different shortcut to toggle-menu-bar.
Is there a way to achieve this?
On Ubuntu I needed this two settings in settings.json :
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom",
"window.customMenuBarAltFocus": false
(VS Code restart might be required)
Related:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/84227
https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_36#_disable-alt-key-focus-of-the-custom-menu-bar
My only solution is to set menu always hidden to prevent interfering with alt-hotkeys. But enabling mnemonics still allows you to reveal it by pressing Alt+F for example.
I have tried this on Win10, and adding these 3 lines to settings.json will work for me, while the latest upvoted answer will make the Menu bar hidden, which is not what we want.
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom",
"window.customMenuBarAltFocus": false,
"window.enableMenuBarMnemonics": false,
I'm using v1.25.1 and the setting to disable ALT menu selection is "window.enableMenuBarMnemonics": false. You can keep the menu visible.
This fixed it for me (I'm using Linux)
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom"
The solution is to set menu always hidden to prevent interfering with alt-hotkeys. But enabling mnemonics still allows you to reveal it by pressing Alt+F for example.
This can be achieved with "window.menuBarVisibility": "hidden", "window.enableMenuBarMnemonics": true in settings.json. The enableMenuBarMnemonics seem to be the default and hence unnecssary.
To access menu, press Alt-F or Alt-E, or Alt-whatever
This answer originates from Dmitriy Botov's answer
and my comment on it
As in Dmitriy Botov answer, adding those lines
"window.customMenuBarAltFocus": false,
"window.enableMenuBarMnemonics": false,
"window.menuBarVisibility": "hidden",
to the config works, but when I toggle the menu bar with e.g. alt+f the menu stays open.
If I use the toggle menu bar command/keybind the setting of "window.menuBarVisibility": "hidden" will be changed to "window.menuBarVisibility": "classic" and then to "window.menuBarVisibility": "toggle" which enables showing the menu bar on alt key again.
However, I'm using the Settings Cycler extension and build a command with it that does the job for me:
1. in settings.json add:
"settings.cycle": [{
"id": "toggleMenuBar",
"values":[
{ "window.menuBarVisibility": "hidden" },
{ "window.menuBarVisibility": "visible" }
]
}
],
2. Set a keybind for the new command:
{
"key": "alt+shift+w",
"command": "settings.cycle.toggleMenuBar",
}
This shows the menu bar and removes the "toggle on alt key" functionality when hidden.
Tested on vscode 1.60.0
Just "window.menuBarVisibility": "hidden" works.
open setting from File --> Preferences --> Settings and in searchBox type menu bar
in Result you can turn off it and whatever you want to doenter image description here
