How to Turn Off Inlay Hints in VS Code

I initially tried to turn off the type hints via rust-analyzer extension setting, but that did not work 😞

Turns out it is very complicated (at least for me) documentation did not help 😞

Here is what worked for me. Thanks to SO ¹

• Open Command Palette Cmd+Shift+P
• Select Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) from the drop down
• Add the following to existing settings
  • Or create new one, if empty. You may need to enclose it within { } though.

	"editor.inlayHints.enabled": "offUnlessPressed"

This will turn off the type hint inlays.

But if/when required, it can be enabled via Ctrl+Alt
