RubyMine inserting un-editable text

RubyMine has started inserting un-editable text into my Ruby code, and I find it rather annoying. For example, this simple rspec expression:

expect(user.name).to be_truthy

... becomes this:

expect(user.name).to matcher be_truthy

Another example, this:

Part.first.try(:root_id).nil?

... becomes this:

Part.first.try( *a :root_id).nil?

How can I turn this off?

Solution

  • It's called Parameter Names Hinting. You can disable it in preferences.
