Display inlay hints for labels/sections/theorems

[vigoux]

Hey,

I wonder if it could be possible to send the full name of the named parts of a document (theorem, section, ...) as somethings like an inlayHint or something like that ?

It should be pretty easy as this is already done as the hover.

Where would you want this?

• only on \label
• on \label and all \*ref (could get noisy)
• also on \cite (very noisy)

I'd say that \label is far sufficient as a starting point.
For \*ref and \cite I think that the hover is enough, and does not get too much in the way.

For the record, there is also to inlineValue that seems to match what could be done with this.

I could see the use if you want to quickly scan through the document and see the label numbers as inlay hints. I have created a draft PR (#756), that implements this request for \label.

I think inlayValue is more meant as an aid when using a debugger. See InlineValueContext.

I agree 👍. I think we can close this issue for now.

Coming back to this, I think that adding inlay hints (maybe configurable) for \*ref and \cite is a good thing. Do you think we can reopen this issue ?
