Press "/" to insert an element

[Ben Kovitz 2]

A few updates ago, Evernote started putting this at the cursor wherever I'm about to type something new in a note:

   Press "/" to insert an element

I find this very annoying. It drowns out the thought I had in mind that I wanted to put into the note, so I can't remember what I wanted to type. How can I turn off this new feature?

You can hide the hint but you can't remove the function when you press /.

… and after pressing / and typing, you can simply go on, even if some dropdown options show.

They remove themselves when the typed characters don’t match any of the possibilities. And to invoke them you need to press ENTER while they show.

So just type ahead.

Thanks! It worked. Clearing the "inline hint" is a big improvement for me. The menu after the slash seems slightly annoying but not much of a problem since I don't think I've ever needed to start a line with a slash.
