Overly-obtrusive popups

[rgobbel]

Describe the bug

The docstring popups are driving me nuts: too large, covering what I'm trying to edit, and most of the time completely unhelpful. There needs to be a way to control them.

You can turn them off in settings. Uncheck "Autocomplete"

[rgobbel]

I'm not talking about autocomplete, and in any case, unchecking that box did not make the problem go away.
After unchecking autocomplete, here's an example:

In general, I like this functionality, but I have no control over when it appears, and it very often blocks my view of something that I need to see for what I'm entering. What I'd like is for it to be bound to a keystroke, pretty much any keystroke, but not just appearing unbidden.

[akshayka]

The setting is mislabeled, it doesn't control only completions. Thank you for the feedback.

But, I unchecked it, and I no longer see any tooltips unless I (1) mouse over md or (2) hitting the keystroke (cmd+space). Meaning I cannot reproduce your issue. Do you need to disable tooltips on hover as well? Is there anything else you can share to help us reproduce your issue?
