ANNOYING TABLE OF CHARACTERS POP-UP WINDOW

[jult11842140]

Good morning All,

First post. Not super psyched by the newest photoshop CC, tons of "gadgets" and "pop-up" windows which looks like Adobe is catering to the millenials crowd... 😞 

Better focus on making the tool more efficient instead of adding tons of useless annoyances.

Anyways. When editing a text I get this super annoying pop-up window with a table of various characters and fonts... It prevents me from typing in my first character every single time and I have to go back, driving me nuts. Anybody has an idea to stop this crap from happening? Thank you.

Also I would like to disable those pop-up images that now appear every single time you hoover on each of the tools. Same thing, recommendations appreciated.

ADOBE: Keep it simple and efficient!! Reduce the crap!!

For the text go to Photoshop>Preferences>Type (mac) or Edit>Preferences>Type (windows) and uncheck Enable Type layer glyph alternatives.

As to the Pop-Ups go to Photoshop>Preferences>Tools (mac) or Edit>Preferences>Tools (windows) and uncheck Show Rich Tooltips

Thanks Jeff you rock.

Oh my God thank you for this!!  I can't for the life of me think of why anyone would prefer this highly disruptive setting to be enabled by default... especially consdiering you can just open the Glyphs window and the same options will present themselves there without blocking you from being able to continue typing.  

Work out the kinks Adobe. You have the resources 😉

Thank you very much for this help! 

Is there a keyboard shortcut that turns this on? I keep turning it on by accident somehow with a keystroke and I'm not able to figure out what it is.

Thanks!

Thank sweet heavens. That has been driving me crazy!

Glad someone brought it up because it was reducing my productivity and efficiency by large margins as well. Phew!

Thank you so much.

The glyph and "learn more" tool pop-ups are driving me insane.
