typescript hover: option to enable/disable and set modifier key

[mariusa]

I develop with Javascript/Typescript, but the informative hovers are getting a lot in the way. Moving the mouse somewhere triggers an informative Typescript hover enough times to be annoying.

Searching user preferences for "hover", I see other languages have an option to enable it:

Request 1: Please add a similar option to enable/disable for Typescript

Request 2: Please add the possibility to trigger hover on Ctrl+Hover.
Now Ctrl shows additional info in hover. I'd prefer to show the hover (with the additional info) only on Ctrl+Hover, so it doesn't get in the way during regular coding, but can be easily triggered only when needed.

Related, but not the same: #94679, #92787, #54503

Thank you!

Try setting "editor.hover.enabled": false to disable hovers

You can then trigger hovers again using a keybinding for editor.action.showHover

Thanks. This works, but it's more complex than needed.

"editor.hover.enabled": false
Then, with the mouse hovering over an error or area that normally would show the hover tooltip, I'd like to display the tooltip simply by pressing Ctrl. That is, get the same behavior as "editor.hover.enabled": true

Now I have to

1. click in that area, then
2. press a keybinding which is at least 2 keys
