 In VS Code, the following settings can be used to configure the inlay hints:
 
-* `rust-analyzer.displayInlayHints` — toggles inlay hints display on or off
-* `rust-analyzer.maxInlayHintLength` — shortens the hints if their length exceeds the value specified. If no value is specified (`null`), no shortening is applied.

 **Note:** VS Code does not have native support for inlay hints [yet](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/16221) and the hints are implemented using decorations.
 This approach has limitations, the caret movement and bracket highlighting near the edges of the hint may be weird:
