How do I stop this hover popup in Phpstorm?

When hovering over code in Phpstorm, I get a popup like below. Every hover produces a similar popup like these below:

Edit: I've realized the popups only occur during live edit.

But I still cant find a setting to turn them off.

Solution

  • They can't be turned off.

    This is part of "inspections" (validations) which I think is necessary in any editor to prevent syntax and run-time errors. PHPStorm goes a step further than something like Eclipse (which has validations but lets you disable the pop-ups), and as far as I can tell, the PHPStorm developers are not interested in an option to disable the pop-ups. I have no clue why as they constantly get in the way of me clicking or typing.
