Distracting Healing Icons

I was excited when I found out I could spot heal in Lightroom instead of going to Photoshop every time. But now, with the latest healing tools, every time I click the spot heal, it leaves a stupid icon on my photo and I can't see the correction I made unless I push a button to hide the thing. THIS IS ANNOYING!! I'm trying to clean up my photo, not clutter it up with a bunch of damn icons. Is there a way to turn this "feature" OFF? If not, I will never be using the healing tools in Lightroom. Just make it work the same way as it did, like in Photoshop!! Very disappointed.

Of course you can change this - there's an option on the toolbar (press "T" to toggle the toolbar on and off) labelled "Tool Overlay", set it to "Never" if you never want to see the icons. Or press the "H" key to toggle the tool overlay between "Never" and "Auto".

AWESOME!!! I tried the "Tool Overlay" in the Tools tab but it didn't do anything. I was trying everything. Thanks for showing me how. Back to being happy!!

For future reference. Each module has its own list of keyboard shortcuts and modifiers, which can be accessed from the Help menu. Attached is the version displayed for the Develop module
