I cannot disable inlay hints. I have turned them off in the VS settings and JSON settings, but they still appear.

Hey, do you possibly have an extension installed for this?

I don’t think so, I believe it’s a native Visual Studio Code feature.

Check if they are enabled for a specific language, for example:

`⁠"typescript.inlayHints.parameterNames.enabled": "all"`

@darnok Have you found a fix for this? I’m writing Swift code in cursor and inlay hints won’t disable either. And it’s completely overlapping my code:

 ![inlay hints](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/5/3/53829f7e7c41d1dfbf025b7e279b35c58d1f8a2a.png)

I already have the following in my `settings.json`

```auto

"editor.inlayHints.enabled": "off",
"javascript.inlayHints.parameterNames.suppressWhenArgumentMatchesName": false,
"swift.sourcekit-lsp.inlayHints.enabled": false, // note: deprecated, so no-op
"typescript.inlayHints.parameterNames.suppressWhenArgumentMatchesName": false

```

I was able to narrow it down to the [VSCode Neovim](https://open-vsx.org/extension/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim) extension. Disabling the extension restores the behavior for my `editor.inlayHints.enabled` setting

You can keep the extension running by adding the line `"vscode-neovim.neovimClean”: true` to your `settings.json` file, as this disables all your plugins. This seems to disable whatever problematic Neovim plugin I have installed, but I haven’t been able to narrow down which one is the culprit yet
