Aggregate initialization

Parameter name hints show the names of the members you are initializing and help disentangle complex aggregate initializations in C++17 and later:

Use the Visibility selector to choose how inlay hints for aggregate initialization should be displayed in the editor: choose Default to apply the general visibility preference from the Environment | Inlay Hints | General page of ReSharper options, choose Show Always or Never Show to always show or hide hints, or choose Push-to-Hint to hide the hints by default but show them when you press and hold Ctrl.

Array index

Array index hints can help with multidimensional initialization:

Use the Visibility selector to choose how inlay hints for array index should be displayed in the editor: choose Default to apply the general visibility preference from the Environment | Inlay Hints | General page of ReSharper options, choose Show Always or Never Show to always show or hide hints, or choose Push-to-Hint to hide the hints by default but show them when you press and hold Ctrl.

Namespace name

A large project can have any number of namespaces, which sometimes are nested or even do not have a name. In such cases, hints of this kind will indicate what namespace is being closed by the current brace:

Use the Visibility selector to choose how inlay hints for namespaces should be displayed in the editor: choose Default to apply the general visibility preference from the Environment | Inlay Hints | General page of ReSharper options, choose Show Always or Never Show to always show or hide hints, or choose Push-to-Hint to hide the hints by default but show them when you press and hold Ctrl.

Preprocessor directive

Preprocessor directive hints help you quickly understand how conditional inclusions (#ifdef, #ifndef, #if, #endif, #else, and #elif) correspond to macro definitions:

Use the Visibility selector to choose how inlay hints for preprocessor directives should be displayed in the editor: choose Default to apply the general visibility preference from the Environment | Inlay Hints | General page of ReSharper options, choose Show Always or Never Show to always show or hide hints, or choose Push-to-Hint to hide the hints by default but show them when you press and hold Ctrl.
