How to Disable Inlay Hints in ReSharper’s VSCode Extension

Question

How can I disable inlay hints when using ReSharper's extension in Visual Studio Code?

Answer

To disable inlay hints in ReSharper's VSCode extension, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your Visual Studio Code settings (File | Preferences | Settings or by pressing Ctrl + ,).
2. Search for editor.inlayHints.enabled in the settings search bar.
3. Change the value editor.inlayHints.enabled to one of the following:
   • off: Disables inlay hints entirely. They will never appear in your code, keeping the editor completely clear of these adornments.
   • offUnlessPressed: Disables inlay hints by default, but temporarily reveals them while you press and hold a specific modifier key combination (usually Ctrl + Alt). This is also known as "Push-to-Hint" mode and is great for keeping the editor clean while still providing on-demand access to parameter details.
   • on: Enables inlay hints permanently. The hints will always be displayed inline with your code across all editor tabs.
   • onUnlessPressed: Enables inlay hints by default, but temporarily hides them while you press and hold the modifier key combination. This is ideal if you prefer having the extra context visible most of the time, but occasionally want to clear the screen to read dense blocks of code without distractions.
