Bug: errorLens.alignMessage doesn't work with inlay hints #185

Hi,

Thanks for the feature!

However, it doesn't work well with python.analysis.inlayHints settings

There's no official api for alignment, so it's a hack already.

I've added a boolean property "useFixedPosition" to "errorLens.alignMessage" setting that uses a different hack. It removes stuttering on active line (when typing) and ignores things like inlayHints.

The drawback is that it will conflict with other extension decorations and if inlayHint is long it will also overlap with line text. So, only useful if you align messages far away from the code. This feature is unlikely to receive anything better.
