Suppress syntax function help popups in VS Code/VSCodium

Question

I'm using VSCodium to write some Python, and using the Python/Intellisense/Pylance Extension and an annoyance is the constant pop-ups explaining every basic function to me.

For example if I start to type a print() statement it pops up a large box with all the syntax details of writing a print statement, which blocks my view of much of my code. I'd like to just be able to type without the big pop-up suggestions.

I tried under the Preferences > Settings > text editor and there are pages and pages of "suggest:" option check boxes there, and though I tried several, none helped. Not sure if that's the right place to look.

I tried to change the Quick Suggestions Delay to 5000ms but it seems to have no effect on that instant popup on typing print( as well.

I'm starting to think perhaps there is another set of settings that controls this, but there are so many and none seem to be making a difference.

Answer 1

I am using editor.quickSuggestions and editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters turned off for that purpose:

    "editor.quickSuggestions": {
        "comments": "off",
        "strings": "off",
        "other": "off"
    },
    "editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false,

…and it works for me for languages I am using; not using Python at this point.
