How to show parameter name hints for C++ in CLion?

Question

I know about Ctrl/Cmd+P to show the popup for parameters, however that's not what I am looking for.

I am looking for the parameter name hints (which can be found in Preferences > Editor > General > Appearance), but as I can see they are only available for TypeScript (on a C++ IDE???).

How can I enable this feature for C++?

P.S. Here is a screenshot from IntelliJ IDEA on Java. (Found on this question)

Type hints are not yet available for C and C++ in CLion. – nastasiak2512 Oct 17 '17 at 10:23 — nastasiak2512, Oct 17 '17 at 10:23
Seems like it's still not available as of CLion 2018.3.3 :( – Chuck Jan 23 '19 at 16:05 — Chuck, Jan 23 '19 at 16:05

Type hints for C++ were added in 2019.2. Enabled by default, disabled in Appearance -> Show parameter name hints.

Are you using a Macbook? Because for some reason I can't get them to show up in CLion on MacOS even though they show up on Linux. – andrewgazelka Feb 03 '21 at 00:33
