How can I stop IntelliJ from adding comments such as /* = Comparator<T> */ when displaying signatures? Kills readability.

alt + enter, disable hints (or just search for “hint” in settings)

[pniederw]

Where exactly? I've turned off everything I could find, but it didn't help. I'm not talking about inline hints displayed in the editor, but signatures displayed in navigation popups etc. (cmd+hover).

[gildor]

ah, I see, you didn’t mention navigation popups

[pniederw]

I find this signature quite unreadable, and it gets worse.

"Quick Documentation" shows the same

[gildor]

for this particular case it looks like a bug

[pniederw]

I think it shows the RHS of type aliases, but it's not helpful

[pniederw]

here it's kotlin.Comparator vs. java.lang.Comparator

[gildor]

it’s still looks like a bug

[pniederw]

what exactly? the fact that these comments exist in the first place?

[pniederw]

Perhaps my Kotlin plugin runs in debug mode, but I haven't found such a setting.

[pniederw]

decompiler shows it too

[gildor]

it doesn’t make sense to show typelias without fully qualified name if name is exactly the same

[pniederw]

I don't want it at all. it looks alien and hurts more than it helps. some signatures double in size.
