My Visual Studio Code Settings


All of those setting serve the purpose of saving me from being put in a mental institution

editor.hover.delay

Moving around with the mouse pointer, those hints popping up immediatly drive me crazy. A delay makes it a bit less annoying

editor.inlayHints.enabled

Especially with rust-analyzer, which is putting in hints for the datatypes everywhere, this is annoying for two reasons:

  • Since rust datatypes are huge (Result<Something<Mutex<dyn std::Error<String>>, infinite insanity>>>), lines are too long
  • Depending on where the cursor is, the hint is shown or not, making the caret jump around all the. ANNOYING!
{
    "editor.hover.delay": 800,
    "editor.inlayHints.enabled": "offUnlessPressed" // press Ctrl+Alt to show
}
