I am trying to read through an ipynb (never used before), but every cell has a lightbulb covering the content.

1. What is an SPDX license identifier?
2. Why is it prompting me for this in every cell?
3. How can I turn off these suggestions temporarily?

I put this in my `settings.json`:

```julia
"editor.lightbulb.enabled": false,

```

I assume it’ll work in an ipynb as well.

Because every cell is considered a standalone file and this tooltip shows up for the first line on every file. Last time I asked it wasn’t exactly possible to know wheter the file is a “fake” cell file or a real file.
