TOTALLY: Open Settings (or Pereferences, if you are OS X user) dialog, choose Editor | Inspections . On the Mange tab (right pane of the dialog) select Copy . Then click the language node. Here you can find the setion that is probably responsible for your tooltips and disable it. Or disable the whole language node, if you like. This way you have all the IDE features working and no tooltips at all. You can return back to Project Default inspections profile when you need it.

PARTIALLY: Try to disable the respected intention action. Press Alt+Enter when you see the tooltip, select the action from the list and press the right arrow key . In the context menu, select "Disable" .
