How to turn "*" into an exact version number?

[IndianBoy42]

I can see the version number in the inlay hint (which btw could be made into an inline virtual text soon?), is there anyway to automatically substitute "*" with that version number?

All functions that can insert a version accept an alt parameter, to make them use the opposite of the smart_insert config option, which is on by default. In case of a plain * version requirement nothing is inserted, which is intentional. Passing true for the alt parameter then will insert the whole version.

Here is an example:

require("crates").update_crate(true)

You can also configure the keymapping inside the versions popup, popup.keys.select_alt which is s by default.
