Something has happened to the settings (I think) so that whenever I try to type into the editor a search panel opens when the 5th character is typed, so I can't actually write any code. I have tried disabling various extensions, to no avail, and anyway, I haven't actually installed any new ones today. I have altered a few keyboard shortcuts, but don't know how to reset everything to default. I may have to uninstall the entire app and reinstall it, but would like to avoid this if possible
This is what happens when I get to typing the t of print

Rather then acting like a word document (for lack of a better way of putting it)
When I am using VS code, when I click into a new html document for example, it behaves as if I am I am typing in the termainal.
This used to happen to me when I would copy/paste something into the document.
I checked my shortcuts and could not see anything, thought it might be a problem with an exentsion or vs code itself. Uninstalled vs code and all my extensions and it did resolve the problem but it is back now, but as I said only occurs when I click into another file.
My VSC shows the wavy underlines when something's wrong with my code, but does not display the hint overlay when I hover my mouse on it.
This happens whatever the language used (from CSS to Typescript) and whatever the type of irregularity (e.g. notice, warn, danger)
I'd say that's a setting I may have changed at some point, but can't find which one. Any idea?
More details:
I do have the message displayed in the Problems tab besides to the Terminal, but it forces me to switch from tab to tab ;
I do have other overlays like autocomplete/autosuggest ;
No extensions in my setup could have led to that situation (only a few installed, widely downloaded, nothing fancy or dodgy).
Actual behavior (nothing happens):
Expected behavior (from google images)
Go to File > Preferences > Settings.
Search for 'hover.enabled' (See below photo).
Toggle it.
If your editor still does not pick up the change, close all tabs, close all VSCode windows, and reopen it.
If it's still not working, try uninstalling VSCode and reinstalling it (make sure you don't have setting sync on).
Also, this question has been answered in at least one other place (Disable tooltip hint in Visual Studio Code)
I am trying to navigate to the explorer window via Ctrl+Shift+e but this sequence of keystrokes is not recognizable by VSCode 1.55.2.
I checked this two ways. First, via trying to check what Ctrl+Shift+w and Ctrl+Shift+e were binded to via keyboard shortcuts (Ctrlk, Ctrls) and then recording the keystrokes to reveal what they were binded to.
You will observe that ctrl+shift+w is recognized. Then, in the gif, when I press ctrl+shift+e it renders as ctrl+shift+unknown.
Then, whenever in a saved open file in the editor, when I press ctrl+shift+e hoping that the explorer navigator opens up on the left, that does not happen. Instead the file becomes unsaved with an underscore e appearing in the file.
This is completely new and strange behavior of the editor. I did not encounter this before.
Any help is appreciated.
Edited to add update: VSCode folks indicate that this is a known issue. Ctrl+shift+e translates into insertion of an emoji, it seems. See their comment here.
Same thing happened to me, using linux (ubuntu).
I installed it from the snap store, and tried reinstalling from there and the problem was still there.
Uninstalled and installed it manually from de .deb package at their webpage and it was solved.
Maybe it's an issue they have solved in the latest version (1.15.8) but it's still unsolved in the snap version (1.15.2 in your case, i didn't pay attention on what was my version).
Same problem. Installing vscode from .tar.gz - works perfectly fine, installing from snap leads to unexpected behaviour on Ctrl+Shift+E
Since yesterday, I have a problem when want to edit code in VSCode. Apparently, after changing focus within VSCode, say switching to the menu bar or a to different view and then coming back to the editor view, the cursor changed from the caret to a filled rectangle, and normal keyboard input is blocked. I need to do something like pressing the Escape key which on the first, second, or third try finally puts me into overwrite mode from which I have to switch to insert mode. This is a very annoying situation. Does anyone have a remedy for this?
Apparently, I happened somehow to switch to the vim schema. Once I became aware of this, I simply switched back to the VS schema which I'm used to, and everything works as desired.
Is there any way to completely remove this message popup or move it to somewhere?
I already know why this message comes, but I do not want to disturb my activity with annoying info popup.
When it pops up it hides the document tab, so I have to close it every single time. (I do not want to know how to fix this particular error message, this screenshot is just an example.)
It's very annoying and I've searched around for a way to remove it, but the answers keep saying how to fix that particular error and not how to hide the popup itself.
Press ESC.
I agree that this is really annoying. VS Code is all about high-speed workflow and not having to interact with anything except your code via keyboard. Everything has key chords, e.g. CTRL-P and CTRL-SHIFT-P. So having to stop what I'm doing, go to the mouse, and dismiss this popup, whenever a background task feels like completing (and not even really then, because the popup actually appears some short time later) just so I can get visual confirmation of which file I'm currently coding in, to refocus my work after being distracted by the same popup, is really awkward. They are in a stupid location and don't even fade away after time like well-behaved toasts.
That said, I think that's really two parts; the distraction, and relatively high workflow cost to dismiss.
It helped me a lot to learn that it can be dismissed quickly and easily with the ESC key. The other half the problem I still haven't solved, but hope that helps you.
In the screenshot it shows trying to validate PHP.
In a VS Code window select File > Preferences > User Settings
An editor will open on the left called Default Settings and on the right with a file called settings.json
In the right side editor you can add settings that will override those found in the left-hand-side one.
Between the braces type:
// Whether php validation is enabled or not.
"php.validate.enable": false,
Then save the document.
VS Code will no longer attempt to validate PHP files.
You can override any of the defaults using this method.
You can use the same technique for each Workspace (or project folder) using File > Preferences > Workspace Settings
You can't disable the alert bar in general as VS Code needs to tell you things and doesn't (thankfully) use modal dialogs to communicate.
Go to File > preferences > settings
Then add this to your user settings
"editor.parameterHints": false
You may want to try adding the line
"extensions.ignoreRecommendations": true
to your VS Code settings file (which you can easily reach with the keystroke (CMD + ,) on a Mac OS X or macOS system.)
Solution: User Preferences > change "editor.parameterHints": true to "editor.parameterHints": false
This will at least remove the obstructive boxes that appear above the cursor.
