In 2025.1 EAP, with K2 enabled, parameter name inlay hints are always shown, right? There doesn't seem to be an option to have them only for literals anymore?

Hi! Can you please provide a little bit more details regarding the issue? The code and screenshots what do you see with K1 and K2 would help. Thank you!

I can not give you the code, but here is an example from a unit test:
With K1, only the literal value (i.e. the value that needs explaining) has the parameter inlay hint. That's perfect.

With K2, the same line of code becomes overly verbose (and also needs a lot of horizontal space now).

[Anton Mefodichev]

class Foo {
    fun bar(buzz: Buzz) {
    }
}

class Buzz(
    val param1: Int,
    val param2: MyEnum
)

enum class MyEnum {
    FIRST
}

fun main() {
    val foo = Foo()
    foo.bar(Buzz(11, MyEnum.FIRST))
}

Same behaviour occurs in
IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3.2.1 (Ultimate Edition)
IntelliJ IDEA 2024.2.5 (Ultimate Edition)

Can't find the option to show the hints only for literals.
I've create a new ticket regarding the issue:

Thank you!
