Is it possible to change the position of Visual Studio Code hint tooltips?

Question

I'd like to change the position of the Visual Studio Code hint tooltip that is useful, but horribly placed sometimes. (covering the code, jumping all over the place while typing, etc.)

I don't know if it would help, but right now I'd like to fix the hints position to the top right corner of the editor. (Or it could adapt to the situation and be at top right or bottom right depending on where I am typing)

Would look for something like:

hintPanelPositionMode: 'fixed'
hintPanelPositionPlacement: 'right'

or edit some settings somewhere in pseudo CSS style

.hint-panel {position: 'fixed'; top: 0; right: 0}

As a side note: it is somewhat related to what is explained in this question Disable tooltip hint in Visual Studio Code

Is this possible currently?

Answer 1

As of now there is no way to move the parameterHints position in VS Code.

There is an open issue on this matter you can find here : https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/15667

I actually just suggested there something like what you are proposing.
Let's hope they will implement something to fix this soon, because that's really annoying.

In the meantime you can hide it completely by adding to your settings :

"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false

That's not ideal to remove it completely though, up to you.
