Inlay Hints are automatically disabled

Hey @user0608, yeah, this is kind of a weird thing. We have some settings for inlay hints:

"inlay_hints": {
    // Global switch to toggle hints on and off, switched off by default.
    "enabled": false,
    // Toggle certain types of hints on and off, all switched on by default.
    "show_type_hints": true,
    "show_parameter_hints": true,
    // Corresponds to null/None LSP hint type value.
    "show_other_hints": true,
    // Time to wait after editing the buffer, before requesting the hints,
    // set to 0 to disable debouncing.
    "edit_debounce_ms": 700,
    // Time to wait after scrolling the buffer, before requesting the hints,
    // set to 0 to disable debouncing.
    "scroll_debounce_ms": 50
}

The important one is

"inlay_hints": {
    // Global switch to toggle hints on and off, switched off by default.
    "enabled": false,
}

If you set this, the inlay hints should persist. What is happening is that the toggle in your video does not interact with the setting, it is sort of a temporary toggle, for the current file, and then resaving the settings (which includes the default setting for inlay hints when it isn't set (disabled)) turns them back off again. We probably should be persisting this setting, whenever it is changed through the UI button, somehow - that behavior is confusing.
