Disable light bulb
Answered
I try to click on something on the left side of a file and a light bulb pops up with some selections, and they're usually different depending on the line I'm on. I see how to disable each little intention or inspection or whatever, but I just want the light bulb to go away.
I don't care if PHPStorm scans the code for issues, I just need to get these pop-ups out of the way without disabling code validation or manual suggestions (like Ctrl+Space).

Hi there,
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-94381
It says "No Affected versions" and "Declined", so does that mean JetBrains thinks it's not a problem and won't fix it anyways?
Please read comments as well -- very often they have a lot of value.
1. Why "declined" -- https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-94381#comment=27-565622
2. Possible workaround (not sure if it still works or not) -- https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-94381#comment=27-566062
Can confirm that this workaround is fine - tested it recently.
How is "providing a setting to turn the bulb off" a "bad idea"?
Also I don't know where $IDE_CONFIG_HOME/options/editor.xml is
This light bulb is very annoying because of its position on the left of the line. Very often it interferes with the line selection which I happen to do often. Why is there a need to "work around"? There must be a setting to turn that off. Thanks.
Oh sorry to mention the environment: IDEA 2016.2.4, Community Edition, Scala editor.
Please leave corresponding feedback at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-94381 so the devs could hear you.
In the workaround it mentions $IDE_CONFIG_HOME. I found at my user home directory, there was .PhpStorm2016.3\config\options
there was no editor.xml file there, so after some researching on the Internet, I created it with the following content:
<application>
<component name="EditorSettings">
<option name="SHOW_INTENTION_BULB" value="false" />
</component>
</application>
and then restarted PHPStorm. It's working now, and to evoke the functionality, I hit Alt + Enter.
You can now disable it from the Preferences window now. Thanks, JetBrains!
great, thank you! :)
Is there any way to just have the bulb be moved over so it's not hovering over text? I too often go to click text and the bulb pops up over it.
