'Obtrusive' overlay in PhpStorm on Mac


This is happening me in PhpStorm on Mac (Sierra), when I go to File > Preferences

The problem is best explained with the screenshot linked to below. Notice the light grey square with the red border. I've just pressed a button/link that has a shortcut of Shift + F6. After pressing this button (using my mouse) an overlay appears, telling me the shortcut.

How do I get rid of this overlay?

Solution

  • If it happens in PhpStorm only then it must be a Key promoter plugin -- every time you are invoking an action using your mouse it shows you some sort of "reminder popup" that informs that the same result can be achieved a bit faster using keyboard shortcut.

    You may disable that plugin in Preferences | Plugins.
