Disable IntelliJ Method Parameter Hints in Java - Step-by-Step Guide

If you're using IntelliJ IDEA for Java development, you may have noticed that it provides parameter hints when you're calling a method. While this can be helpful, it can also be distracting and take up valuable screen space. If you're looking to disable these parameter hints, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Open IntelliJ Settings

First, open IntelliJ IDEA and go to the "File" menu. From there, select "Settings" (or "Preferences" on a Mac).

Step 2: Navigate to Editor Settings

Once in the Settings menu, navigate to "Editor" and then "General".

Step 3: Disable Parameter Hints

Under the "Hints" section, you'll see an option for "Parameter hints". Uncheck the box next to this option to disable the parameter hints in IntelliJ.

Step 4: Save Changes

Finally, click "OK" to save your changes and close the Settings menu.

And that's it! You've successfully disabled the method parameter hints in IntelliJ IDEA. This should help you focus on your code and reduce distractions.
