MATLAB: How to get rid of datatips in the MATLAB editor

datatipseditorMATLABpopuppreferences

When I am editing a script or a function, the datatips show up intermittently and then I cannot see my code.

How do I turn it off?

1. In the Home tab -> Preferences -> Display , uncheck "Enable datatips in edit mode"

2. If it is unchecked and the issue still persists, disconnect and reconnect your mouse.

On the upper right-hand side of the Variables editor (on Windows), click the small arrow and click: Dock Variables. Or Ctrl+Maj+D.

I assume you have your data tip function, you can set it when you enable the data cursor mode.

%%Original data
f=figure;
h=plot(rand(10,1));
dcm=datacursormode(f);
datacursormode on;
set(dcm,'updatefcn',@MyDataTipFunction);
