Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to
0:04
disable this uh on hover tool tip
0:06
messages which appears whenever you
0:08
hover onto some kind of a function or a
0:11
code in VS code. So let's suppose I
0:13
hovering onto this. So it actually shows
0:16
you a simple pop-up message on hover
0:19
that this is actually a express
0:21
function. So now how to disable this?
0:24
It's very easy. You go to the settings
0:27
and right here you simply type in the
0:30
search bar which is editor dot hover dot
0:36
enabled
0:38
and just write this editor.henabled
0:41
and this property will come right here
0:43
and by default it will be checked and
0:46
now just make sure that you uncheck
0:48
this. Just click this once it is now
0:52
unchecked. So now you have successfully
0:54
disabled that tool tip messages and now
0:58
you can cross check
1:00
again if you hover onto this. Now you
1:02
will not see any sort of pop-up hover
1:05
message which appears.
1:08
So this will significantly improve the
1:10
user experience of using VS code. So you
1:13
can also do the the same thing uh by
1:16
opening the user setting file. So just
1:18
open control shiftp. This is the user
1:20
shortcut.
1:22
Just open this file here and just add
1:25
this property here. Editor.hover.enabled
1:29
to false.
1:31
So this is all the JSON file here
1:34
covering all the properties inside VS
1:36
code. So this is this property here.
1:41
So if you once again want to enable that
1:44
feature once again uh just make that
1:46
property from false to true. So now you
1:49
again will see this pop-up message.
1:53
So it's now it's very easy to toggle
1:55
this. So if for some reason you don't
1:57
want this, you can again go to and
1:59
change this from true to false. So now
2:01
once again it is disabled. So in this
2:04
easy way you can disable this on popup
2:07
messages which appear whenever you hover
2:09
onto this any sort of code.
