My basic question: In the Adobe Brackets editor how do I use jshint while turning off or disabling jslint?
My tl;dr: When linting javas
So the short answer is "you can't".
After much digging around it seems that while you can turn off jslint, that will also turn off jshint. Since jslint is baked in to Brackets the only solution is to go in and hack the code Brackets yourself. C'est la vie.
