toggle hover

This Extension switches the hover-widget for tooltips and the builtin color-picker on and off.

Attention! This extension directly edits your "settings.json"-file. Use it at your own risk! I only tested the extension with the installed and the portable version of vscode in Windows 10, but it should work with other OS's too.

Usage:

Put this line in your settings.json:

"editor.hover.enabled":true,

Attention! The line may not contain other chars, otherwise it will not work! Dont put any comments or anything else on the line!

Press "ctrl + t" or open the command palette and type: "toggle hover"

Info! "Visual Studio Code Insiders" and custom settings-path

If you are using the insiders-version, or if you have a custom location for your "settings.json"-file then you have to specify the path to your "settings.json"-file with this option:

"toggle_hover.custom_settings_path": "C:/Users/MyUserName/AppData/Roaming/Code - Insiders/User/settings.json",

... this is an example-path for Windows 10
