VS Code: How to disable function hover pop-up without disabling anything else, and preferably to only activate on demand with a keyboard shortcut?

Question

Haven't figured out how to do this yet after multiple web and Settings searches, and not finding this asked already here.

I tried "editor.hover": false, but it just puts a green squiggly underline under it saying it's an unknown configuration setting.

If I make a function call in say a .php file, then inadvertently hover over it, it pops up an un-called-for box obscuring what I'm reading or blocking what I meant to click.

I'd like to be able to stop this and only have it activate on-demand with a keyboard shortcut, but without disabling other features.

`"editor.hover": false` is in my User Settings, and I've already saved and restarted, but the box still pops up on hover showing a basically useless "mini" reference: https://imgur.com/a/uvaHz If I hold Ctrl while hovering, it shows an expanded reference which is at least useful: https://imgur.com/bYLwHuV All I want is for the pop-up to only show on demand. — user8865053, Jan 05 '18 at 19:37

The only setting that works on version 1.29.1 is:

"editor.hover.enabled": false,

This is the only combination that worked for me:

"editor.parameterHints": false,
"editor.hover": false,
"editor.quickSuggestions": false,
