Can VS Code + rust-analyzer insert inlay hints into the code?

Question

I'm writing in rust, but probably the same holds for other languages.

When I type eg let x = 5, vscode shows let x: i32 = 5, where the : i32 part is an inlay hint. Is there any way to make vscode insert that hint into the actual code?

You mean like set the inferred type as an explicit annotation? — Jared Smith, May 17 '22 at 15:41

Yes, if you hit Ctrl + ., then use the arrow keys to select "Insert explicit type `ty`" then hit enter, it will insert it for you.
