As someone who has used spyder everyday for years, it’s really getting in my way lately.
Important caveat: I’ve just recently upgraded from some really old versions to the latest spyder.
Now it throws off my work flow by continuously tripping code hints or suggestions or whatever. When I try and click into the interpreter I find now I’d better click two or three times instead of one — to subvert the type hint that is sure to push cursor focus back to the code. If I don’t do that I am suddenly typing into the code window that which was intended for the interpreter. It sucks and I need to find out how to fix it. Surely there is something I can do in settings to chill the hinting/or-whatever out.
I've been having that issue with vscode; sometimes the tooltips get in the way and I have to click several times to get my cursor in the code. I think the tooltips should be click through.
Thanks! I’ll try turning off “everything” and see how it goes.
— I am hoping to find some middle ground where I can still make use of some features. I’ll play around with it some more. I’d gotten discouraged by stack overflow discussion of similar issues where turning off various features wouldn’t stick.
Replying to my own comment because there’s more to it. I’m paying more attention to the issue, and sometimes Spyder just context switches, quite often with very annoying timing, and often for no reason I can pinpoint. It just wants to be in one window right after I click in a different window.
This does not make easy to diagnose or complain about, but it is driving me away rapidly.
