@C0D4 This is what I often want to do, but even though they’re annoying, they provide more utility than annoyances, so I just have to suck it up and spend an hour trying to turn it off.

While yes, native new things could be "disabled by default", just imagine how frustrating it would be to install an extension like a language server and not getting language support /by default/.
Anyway inlays can suck my garbage code and they are themselves are garbage, lmao: It gives the variable name when given a string as a value but doesn't when it's given a string concatenation as a value. lmao
Anybody else getting annoyed with VSCode lately? I’m constantly getting updates to the editor and various plugins that add near-forced autocomplete suggestions, cursor hijacking, codelens and inlay hints (messes up spacing and layout), etc. It’s starting to drive me crazy! Just let me write my code! I love the syntax highlighting and autocomplete, but developer tools need to be optional, not have their off button buried behind some 5-layer JSON object that’s not documented anywhere!
I just want to write code, and I want my editor to be a tool, not an annoying little bee swarming my face all the time trying to get me to do things I don’t want to do! Microsoft and plugin devs need to stop enabling these obtrusive features by default and put them behind a “New Features” wizard or something!
