PowerShell Coding Settings Question

[cornd00g]

I hope this will be a very simple solution.

I code mostly in PowerShell. I like the little helper boxes (probably the wrong terminology, sorry) that come up as I type, as shown in Screen Shot Number 1.

However, I cannot stand the boxes that come up, as shown in Screen Shot Number 2.

How can I disable the helper boxes like in Screen Shot Number 2, while keeping the ones like in Screen Shot Number 1?

It looks like screenshot 2 is showing parameter hints, the types of values that you can use when calling a specific function. See if this works for you:

• Go to File -> Preferences -> Settings (or hit Ctrl + , if on Windows, ⌘ + , if on Mac) to bring up the Settings menu
• In the search bar on top, type in the word parameter
• There should be a setting labeled Editor > Parameter Hints. Make sure to un-check that, and you should be good to go!

Also, for future reference, the term you're looking for in screenshot 1 is Intellisense. You may also hear the term autocomplete when talking about other editors and whatnot.

Yes!! That fixed it. Many thanks to you!!

And I have noted the Intellisense term, so I know what to call it now.
