How do I get rid of this:

Choose how to enter input

I can't find the appropriate entry in Option Inspector or in WolframPredictiveInterface.

This is called the "Cell insertion menu". Its appearance is defined in MiscExpressions.tr via the front end resource "CellInsertionMenu".

Notebooks (depending on the stylesheet, of course) have it defined as a "cell insertion point cell" by default:

AbsoluteOptions[SelectedNotebook[], "CellInsertionPointCell"] (* -> {CellInsertionPointCell -> FEPrivate`FrontEndResource["FEExpressions", "CellInsertionMenu"]} *) 

We can disable it as follows:

SetOptions[SelectedNotebook[], "CellInsertionPointCell" -> Cell[]] (* gone *) 

To kill this pop-up at the Stylesheet level one may use Edit Stylesheet and insert:

Cell[StyleData[All, "Working"], CellInsertionPointCell -> None ]
