Ooh the selectively disabled extension is really cool! Thanks!
I sometimes—rarely happens thought—dislike how the cursor renders on top of ligatures in vscode. Always wished it would allow me to "inject" the cursor into the ligature, but since it didn't happen often or bother me as much, I never tried looking for a solution. This will be a small, but much appreciated quality of life improvement! Thanks again!

There does not appear to be a way to disable them in Visual Studio.
