I need to get rid of these constant popups in Spyder. They are so frustrating to me. They constantly get in the way of what I am typing, and I can't see the code. I unchecked everything in Tools-Preferences-Linting.

(Spyder maintainer here) The options in "Completion and linting" only work for the Editor. Since you want to disable those hints for the Console, you need to go to

Tools > Preferences > IPython console > Display

and deactivate the option called Show calltips.

  • Thanks for this. It really helps. I also have the same issue in the editor. Assuming that one of the linter options changes that? Or should I post another question? – Mad Physicist Jul 15 '21 at 22:13
  • I thought I had answered that before, but I couldn't find it among my answers. So, please open a new one and give me a ping so I can point you in the right direction. That way it'll be useful for other people as well. – Carlos Cordoba Jul 15 '21 at 23:11

  • @CarlosCordoba, no offense but I also find these completion tips to be very distracting. That said, they are certainly not unique to Spyder. – osprey Jun 23 '22 at 21:58
  • That's why we provide an option to disable them. – Carlos Cordoba Jun 24 '22 at 01:33
