How do I completely disable "proposals" popups for javascript in Eclipse?

I'm trying to prevent these irritating popups in Eclipse.

The popups show up while I'm trying to type lines of code, "helpfully" making proposals but ultimately just getting in the way and making arrow keys not work as expected.

Screenshot: enter image description here

I've searched for instructions on how to disable this, but none of the things suggested in other links seem to work.

I've tried disabling all "hovers" and unchecking everything on the Java Proposals page in the Eclipse preferences dialog, but that's had no effect in the javascript editor.

I've tried searching the Eclipse Preferences for "javascript" but that doesn't show any Editor page, and none of the preference pages that are shown for javascript seem to have any options to disable proposals.

How do I disable these popups in the javascript editor?

Just making @howlger's comment into an official answer in case anyone encounters the same issue with Eclipse "Proposals" popup annoyances.

The solution was to go into the Preferences, search for "Language", then in the "Language Servers" list I unchecked "JavaScript" and applied the changes.

No more popups!

Thanks again @howlger
