A tiny extension for VS Code that lets you use // ^? inside your editor to inline highlight types. Re-uses the existing TypeScript tooling infra in *.ts, *.tsx, *.js, and *.jsx files, simply adding inline info.
Useful for keyboard warriors or folks working on complex types and want to see how changes propagate throughout other types.
Features
Key: You write // ^? anywhere in a source file (with whitespace before, between and middle being whatever) all that matters is the alignment of the ^.
In addition:
End a line with //=> to highlight the leftmost named type.
Use the "TwoSlash Query: Insert Below" command from the Command Palette or assign a keyboard shortcut to it (default: Ctrl+K 6 on Windows, Cmd+K 6 on Mac).
You can see here it in use a few times:
Debugging
Ensure that inlay hints are enabled in your VS Code settings.
