Technically I was able to just hover over the text layer in the layer window and press right click without needing the first click (left click).

"Convert to Point Text" option shown below:

Control + H / Command + H (PS keyboard shortcuts) or View menu -> Extras, is for Hide selection and planes, it does not remove the text bounding box.

If you want to remove the Text Layer Bounding Box while editing text all you have to do is press Ctrl+H on windows or Cmd+H on mac to hide the Bounding Box.

To unhide press Ctrl+H or Cmd+H again.
