Option to always show problems inline without pressing F8

[crunchtime-ali]

It is already possible to show problems inline when pressing F8 but an option to enable showing them all the time would be great.

I would also be willing to work on an extension adding this functionality but is that possible right now?

Any update on this? A dot in between the breakpoint indicator and the line number would be the best place to put it. Red for errors and yellow for warnings. I find it much faster to view issues this way rather than the problems panel.
I'm new to VS Code and have seen this feature in other editors.

@grandslammer it sounds like you're talking about something else.

Adding a gutter indicator for problems is already possible using the extension api. There are functions to get the "diagnostics" (vscode term for inline problems, warnings, hints, etc.) and there are functions to add "decorations" to the "gutter". So an extension could easily add decorations to the gutter for each diagnostic.

There is also issue #3915 discussing adding this to vscode itself.

However, this issue is about being able to trigger the current "show problem inline" functionality that already exists for a single problem to work for ALL problems in a document at the same time.

I think this issue should be closed as a duplicate of #19749
