perf, that little snippet at 3:49 is just what i needed!

For anyone who followed this guide and had their stuff stop working on a newer nightly build, it looks like the api changed a little bit and now uses vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable(). This is what I did to get it working again:

if vim.lsp.inlay_hint then
vim.keymap.set('n', '<Leader>nh', function() vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable(0, not end, { desc = "toggle inlay [h]ints" })
end

Good to see ya Elijah! Great video, looking forward to giving this a test drive. Also interested in a video on BOB!

This is definitely going to be one of my favorite nvim as an IDE features!

Thank you for the video. Not only you explain what configs to change but also why and how to change them, it is really helpful to newbies like me to understand Neovim and lua.

[shivbhonde]

Thanks so much !! Really loved that you even showed it for TS along with LazyVim config !

[jizhang]

The tutorial is perfect. I was able to follow it and get inlay-hints to work for lua, js and ts files (after correcting the typos in my config file). Thanks, again.

can't wait for it to make it to stable!

I love neovim, I just don't love trying to debug with it. Especially something like React Native. These inlay hints will help to read the new codebase at least, thanks :)

[pascalallau]

Thank's, excellent video as usual and also interested in video on bob.👏

This seems pretty slick, and is one of those little details that is super helpful, but has been missing from nvim. I don't typically use nightly builds, so I will probably just wait until it hits release status (hopefully soon).

Diggin the content! Surprised I never encountered your channel before.

[Redyf]

Your videos helped me a lot, especially the ones about lazyvim

[felipegutierrez]

Great content, I hope to see you more often!

[aquepaique]

Thank you so much.
One thing I found and it's very useful is this snippet that starts inlay hints automatically if your server has inlay hints capacity available:
```lua
-- inside on_attach LSP function:
-- ...
if then
-- vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "LspInlayHint", { fg = "#747D83", bg = "#333232", italic = true }) -- Change inlayhints colors
vim.lsp.inlay_hint(0, true)
end
```

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I'd like to learn how to use bob neovim version manager.

[darkarie]

It would be really helpful if you add a git gist with all the code of the config.

[bassamsaleh]

this is nice feature. thanks for the video. also interested in BOB the version manager :)
