The empty editor hint should be easily toggled by right clicking on the hint

[Tyriar]

Can this support right click to toggle the setting to hidden?

Re-opening because I believe just right clicking to disable isn't a great nor established gesture.

I am all in for configurability but right clicking should show a context menu with a toggle so that I know what's happening. We support a similar flow for breadcrumbs, sticky scroll, minimap etc

Terminals have this

I should have described it better, I meant for it to be in a context menu as otherwise it's too easy to permanently dismiss accidentally

I would align this with the hint we already have for empty editors:

Specifically there is an explicit link to "Do not show again" which is easily discoverable.

I commented the other day in standup how noisy that message has become, if anything we should be reducing the size of that message. Especially if when we install Copilot it's no longer important enough to show at all. In the same vein we're trying to keep the terminal message as small as possible. @daviddossett could you weigh in here?

[jrieken]

I agree but having the full "Start typing to dismiss or don't show this again" message doesn't seem so bad. We already have the first half and with copilot installed it is much shorter than the default message

[bpasero]

To clarify: all I am suggesting is to:

• not have a context menu
• add or don't show this again to the current copilot message
