VSCode Flutter popups - flutter

While typing I get two popups by my cursor. One is autofill suggestions I can interact with, and the other is just static textual information. How do I turn off the static textual popup?
I assume I can go into the settings, search for it, and toggle it, but I don't know what it is called to even google it. It appears specific to Flutter (or Dart) but I'm not positive.

You have to go to settings and then search for editor.parameter hints and then disable it

How can I remove explorer listitem hover tooltips in VS Code?

I want to remove this suggestion in VS Code which comes on hover, as it disrupts my scrolling.
That area of the UI is called the explorer. What you're seeing is generally called a "tooltip" in UI terminology. Looking through the available settings at the time of this writing, I do not see a setting to disable tooltips for the explorer listitems.
I looked through settings containing "tooltip" and ones starting with explorer. and workbench.list. and didn't find such a configuration point.
If you open the developer tools with the Developer: Toggle Developer Tools command, you'll see that that particular tooltip is just implmeneted with the HTML title attribute. The way that it is rendered is up to the browser, which in this case is chromium, and the particular style it appears in differs by platform / OS.
You might be able to write an extension that removes those title attributes.

In VS Code online how do I get back to the address bar?

Whenever I use Visual Studio Code in the browser (for me that’s always at GitHub.dev) I can’t figure out to put the focus in the address bar using a keyboard shortcut ( typically I want to do this so I can get back to GitHub.com). Usually I use CMD-L to put the focus in the address bar but it seems that gets intercepted by VSCode.
Surely I can’t be the only one frustrated by this? And idea how to put the focus back in the address bar using a keyboard shortcut?
I'm frustrating the same problem. I now use "Open Permalink in Github" from the command pallet but there might be a better way.

Do not show user input in console autocomplete

Recently, I have noticed that Google Chrome's JavaScript console autocompletes previously inputted commands. For example:
I want to remove this feature because the autocomplete displays variables that may not exist. Is there a way to remove this feature?
Yes. A lot of people found it annoying, so they added a setting to disable it.
First, enter the DevTools settings from the menu button in the top right corner.
Then, in the "General" section, disable "Autocomplete from history".

How to make GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette's PaletteView visible on first start

My GEF editor (extending GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette) always opens the editor with the palette hidden on first start of the application / first opening of the editor (after a build for example).
As this will potentially bewilder users who'll need to go in search of the flyout icon first, I'd like to have the palette view shown whenever the editor is opened. The user can then choose to close it on his/her preferences.
How can I achieve this? The API doesn't seem to give any clues, or I'm unable to find them...
The state of the palette defines if it is open or closed. This state is accessible using the getPalettePreferences().setPaletteState() method that is accessible in the GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette. To open the palette, you must set it to the FlyoutPaletteComposite.STATE_PINNED_OPEN, like this:
getPalettePreferences().setPaletteState(FlyoutPaletteComposite.STATE_PINNED_OPEN);
If you want to ALWAYS override the state so that the palette is always opened with the editor, you have to add the line to the constructor of your editor. If you only want to do this once, and then leave the state as it was last selected by the user... No idea how to do this :-(

Is there a way to search/filter properties in Styles pane of Google Devtools?

On the Elements tab 'Find' functionality (cmd+F/ctrl+F) doesn't search through styles pane. Is there a way to type CSS property with HTML element selected and find it quickly in the Styles panel?
Bottom right corner, light gray text says "Find in styles". Click there and enter your search.
Unfortunately, such functionality does not exist in current Chrome Dev Tools.
But its present in Opera Dragonfly and its very handy, so, probably Chrome will copy it, eventually (but no such feature request exists in bug tracker now).
On the latest Chrome on Mac, I'm getting the filter at the top of the styles pane. I can't believe that I never noticed it given that I've needed it so many times!
Try using CTRL+Shif+F on the Elements tab
