Keyboard shortcut for toggleInlayHints is creating a .vscode folder

[rodrigocfd]

I assigned a keyboard shortcut to rust-analyzer.toggleInlayHints command, so I can quickly toggle the inlay hints. I'm using latest VSCode (v1.60.2).

However, for some reason, now every time I hit the shortcut key, a new .vscode folder is created at the root of my project, with a settings.json file contaning this:

{
    "rust-analyzer.inlayHints.enable": false
}

I guess this started happening a few versions ago.

This behavior doesn't happen with the Error Lens extension, for example, to which I also have a keyboard shortcut to errorLens.toggle.

Error Lens toggles the global configuration: https://github.com/usernamehw/vscode-error-lens/blob/17291ae2204ed3d7ad4dc3ee82dce64c5b958a3d/src/commands.ts#L8

Rust-analyzer toggles the workspace configuration: https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/88a214f2dc1c85bda1666f303f7658834d61780d/editors/code/src/commands.ts#L291

Yeah, the folder is a bit annoying. Should we change the global instead?

Or make it configurable, at least.
