I would like to be able to hide the component names (for example hiding IRF530 in n-mosfet) when drawing schematics for didactical exercises.

You can:

Right-click on the component > Edit Parameters >

or

Double click on the component >

Click on Edit Individual Parameters > left click back in Editor window > Component appears with same parameters but no part number.

To make the part number visible again:

Right-click on the component > Edit Parameters >

or

Double click on the component >

Click on Choose Existing Part Model > Select part from list that has the same parameters as the unnamed part i.e. the parameters don’t change from those already there > left click back in Editor window > Component appears with same parameters but now shows the part number.

It may help to paste a temporary copy of the part in your circuit just to sanity check that you have selected the right part number.

:)

wow, thank you!

Forgot there's this too:
