I have no idea how Google's UI designers seem to repeatedly decide to violate the most basic tenet of UI/UX design: Don't take something that works for the majority of your user base and change it such that it now irritates and frustrates most of said user base. Or put another way: Something a minority of users will use should not have to be a distraction to all the other users. That's just BAD UI/UX design. I think living at the Google campuses may somehow end up being an echo-chamber. While I'm ranting: Let me decide what's on my menu bar. It also has become a thing full of annoyance because it has so much I don't ever (and never will) use, yet it eats up real estate that pushes things I use a lot (like intentions and lists) off into a drop down. Daft! Vexatious! Google!

Google docs is usable again! It's such a small thing, but endlessly annoying for someone that never ever inserts stuff like that into the documents I write, and seeing something pop up after I stop typing every time is a distraction and breaks concentration on what I was trying to convey. Why would they ever think "lets add something new, but with no way of turning it off!"

Thank you so much for this. Every time I made a new line I kept getting irritated and it kept pulling me out of what I was writing. Why Google couldn't implement an 'off' switch themselves, I'll never know. Or maybe just remind you once at the start of a new document and that's it? Why hover it on every new line? Thanks for this extension, it works. People who hate this feature, don't forget to complain via Docs > Help > Help Docs Improve so they don't pull this type of stuff on us in future.
