How do i disable this little gray type box thing
It is very annoying and I cant figure out where to disable it
hi, welcome
that looks like some kind of syntax highlighting
what is the document type in the lower right hand corner and does it match it with what you are working on?
try changing it to “normal” and see if it changes.
you can edit the syntax highlighting in settings > color themes if they are not to your liking.

Welcome to KDE!
If my guessings are correct, you only typed (in the excerpt) and_child(&x)) (right?).
Then this thing is called “inlay hints” and wants to “assist” you by showing you implicit types, parameter names etc.
Can you look into your Kate Settings (Settings > Configure Kate) and ensure the “inlay hints” option (in LSP Client > Enable inlay hints) is disabled?
Knowing what programming language you programmed in would help too (though I guess it was Rust, based on the screenshot).
