VScode 1.67 toggle inlay hints is awesome

code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_67

VSCode 1.67 introduces toggle inlay hints.

Inlay hints is sometimes useful when I want to know types of variables or functions. However it is usually overdoing. And it makes me difficult to move cursor position to correct position. I often set cursor to wrong positions. This annoys me a lot.

Too much type inaly hints. I don't always want to know type information.

Toggle inlay hints solves my problem. VSCode 1.67 adds onUnlessPressed and offUnlessPressed to editor.inlayHints.enabled. onUnlessPressed means that inlay hints are not displayed while Ctrl+Alt is pressed, while offUnlessPressed means that inlay hints displayed while Ctrl+Alt is pressed.

I set it as offUnlessPressed. So I can see type information only when I press Ctrl+Alt as below.
