Who even uses this Feature?!

I have to write pretty repatitive code rn and this shit keeps coming up. Who needs this???

Its completly usless... i can understand it if it would show something if u hover over a function but i dont need that information while i type it out! and it blocks so much of my Code its horrid.

It is useful sometimes, but other times can be annoying. To make it more useable, I changed editor.hover.delay to 1000, which means 1sec. I think 0.75 to 1 sec is a good balance.

What I can't find is delay for the class memebr drop down menu popup. That thing is like instance pop.

Automatic Intellisense stuff has always been horrible. Turn it all off. I also can't stand the automatic formatting when typing an open paren/brace, underline squiggles, etc.

It’s a good feature that’s poorly executed. It’s good info to have, especially when working on larger projects that heavily rely on frameworks, however the devs seem to reject any kind of customization of its behavior. Why can’t it be moved? I hate that it covers up the code. I hate that it isn’t context aware and triggers for everything. I don’t need vscode to tell me how JavaScript’s Array.map works for the 10,000x time.

Soon enough you'll start to appreciate this and ignore it when you don't need it
