Description

I am using VS 2017, programming in F#. When the mouse cursor hovers over Deedle.Frame and a few other keywords the Quick Info popup takes almost half my screen.

#### Repro steps

1. Install the Deedle package from NuGet and insert "open Deedle" in your code. Type "Frame" in a blank line.

2. Hover with the mouse cursor over the word "Frame".

#### Expected behavior

What I would like to have is either a key combination that would make the pop-up go away, or a configuration options under Tools/Options/Text Editor that would let me disable Quick Info.

#### Actual behavior

A large Quick Info pop-up takes almost half the screen. If I want to make it disappear I have to move the mouse cursor out of the pop-up area, which is a fairly long distance.

#### Known workarounds
Provide a description of any known workarounds.
One can carefully avoid placing the cursor over certain words, but in practice this is quite inconvenient.
