nil

Documentation

Non-nil means display the guidance with an overlay, not by inserting it.

Inserted guidance is part of minibuffer-contents while it is shown, so code reading them from after-change-functions sees it too. Bind this around such code rather than setting it globally: an overlay string places the cursor by rules of its own.
