Hide hover tooltips when navigating files in the explorer

Hey there, I’ve been looking for a setting to hide the tooltip which appears while hovering over different files in the file explorer. I personally find it distracting. Attaching a video to show what I mean.

Hey @sohunn! I found enabling this setting in my settings.json did the trick!

{
  "workbench.hover.delay": 1000000
}

This is the link to it in settings: cursor://settings/workbench.hover.delay. There doesn’t seem to be a way to turn it entirely off, but setting it that high means it’s not going to pop up any time quick.
