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
Update
Setting to turn off ALL popups
"editor.parameterHints": false
"editor.hover.enabled": 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!
what JSON looks like
If you're new to coding, those tooltips can come in handy. You may want instead to just DELAY their appearance as Logan suggested.

or simply scroll up! :)
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,

This is in reference to disabling this specific feature, while leaving all other code hinting features active.
I am very familiar with the Settings GUI as well as settings.json and have searched extensively but none of the Intellisense/hints/suggestions configuration seems to apply to this particular popup.
Just going to Code -> Preferences -> Settings
Search "editor hover enabled" and disable checkbox.
It looks like it will finally be in v1.52 for html files, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/97979 - it is coming to css/scss files as well.
Two new settings:
"html.hover.documentation": false,
"html.hover.references": false,
The references one will disable the MDN Reference link only. The documentation setting all the MDN documentation as well.
"html.hover.documentation": "Show tag and attribute documentation in hover.",
"html.hover.references": "Show references to MDN in hover."
And for v1.54 extending to css, scss and less:
Hovers in CSS/LESS/SCSS and HTML
You can now fine tune the content of hovers in HTML and CSS:
Do not show documentation from MDN
Do not show the link to the MDN page Use the settings css.hover.documentation and css.hover.references resp the similar
settings in html, css, scss and less
from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_54.md#hovers-in-csslessscss-and-html
Go to File > Preferences > Settings
or
Press Ctrl + ,
Search MDN and you will see 4 check boxes there.
uncheck those and you are good to go:
In this way, you can still have the hover explanations about certain tags and keywords but only the MDN reference link will be gone:
Found this, in settings.json insert the following. It might turn off more than you wanted, but at least that pop up will be gone.
"editor.hover.enabled": false,
To find settings.json (the right one), open VSCode and push Ctrl+P. Type "settings.json" and make sure you open up the one in AppData (or wherever you installed VSCode in).
When you press Ctrl+P looking for the settings.json file it will show you two of them, Open Default settings.json and Open settings.json.
you should paste this:
- "editor.hover.enabled": false,
on the Open settings.json.
The default settings.json is not editable.
