Visual Studio Settings
So, I installed VS in a new computer, but it now lacks the feature from the pic above: it shows the Type of the variable IEnumerable<EntityEntry> and EntityEntry, without needing to hover at it.
I remember activating it, but I forgot exactly where in the Visual Studio Options.

Visual Studio 2019 and above can now give you inline hints of the type in lambda, var, etc, see the animated GIF on how to enable it:

See the below image for an example of what it looks like the white line was made by me to illustrate what the above does:

NOTE: You can also use it by pressing ALT + F1! You might need to go on the settings and disable/reenable it for it to work!
oh uh it doesnt show the settings part, its on Menu > Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Advanced
heya, thanks. I wonder if there's more useful stuff I don't know inside Visual Studio hahah
probably, u might want look into the shortcuts
it has plenty of nice shortcuts
like CTRL+K+D to auto format document
a combo I like to use is "Ctrl + A" + "Ctrl + M M"
whenever I open a Xunit project, I can either read all the Tests' names or look into the DGG to know what they are doing and just read
it's like a Zen Mode, you only care about the functions and not what is happening behind them
