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.

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.
