Setting: Disable all hints (blue underlines for hints to learn) without manually clicking "Mark as learned"

[karlhorky]

Hi @mattpocock! 👋 Hope you're well

I wanted to propose an extension setting to disable all hints (before they are dismissed with "Mark as Learned"), so that the decorations do not clutter our students' editors (but they still get the benefit of the error translation)

Workaround

Switch to Pretty TypeScript Errors instead:

• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yoavbls.pretty-ts-errors
• https://github.com/yoavbls/pretty-ts-errors

Pretty sure we have this already under:

"totalTypeScript.hideAllTips": {
  "type": "boolean",
  "default": null
},

Although if you're struggling to find it, we should probably document it better.

Ah interesting! When I tried to show the extension settings, they were empty:

But doing this again now shows that there are indeed settings, probably something was not right before (maybe because it was disabled)

Sounds good, sure. I'm accustomed to VS Code extensions having their settings in the docs:

1. Should the extension have a short readme on the VS Code Marketplace page?
2. And maybe also in the GitHub repo README.md?

The current "docs page" link goes to a sparse marketing page.
