How to turn this feature "Preview" off completely

Post by SimonYuan »

Adding a toolbar button will expose the Hover Box setting to SC button, which again exposes it to keyboard shortcuts via User / Run Script. And for some time now, toolbar buttons can also be added to the catalog. So if your toolbar is already cluttered, there are options ...
