How can I prioritize "Add import" over "Ruff: Disable" in Python / VS Code

Question

I'm writing Python code in VS Code and have recently installed the Ruff linter and its associated VS Code extension. One thing I'm finding frustrating is that when I write a symbol name and want to use VS Code's "Quick Fix" to add an import for it, the first option that comes up is "Ruff: Disable" rather than "Add import".

This isn't the end of the world, of course, I can press down arrow to select the action I want. But it does add an extra step and is an annoyance. Is there a way I can get these actions in the order I want?

A few versions if they're relevant:

Ruff extension, this happens with both v2023.16.0 and v2023.17.11351528
Pylance v2023.6.10
Python VS Code Extension v2023.8.0

VS Code version:

A feature request has existed in[ Github](github.com/astral-sh/ruff-vscode/issues/199), and I created a new one for you in vscode-Python. — MingJie-MSFT

May 2025 still no way to change the order of the quick fixes. I don't understand why "disable for this line" would be the first option, in what world your first choice is to disable the warning instead of fixing it?! — gccallie

There doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the order of these quick fixes. But it's possible to move "Add import" to the top of to the list by removing "Ruff: disable" quick fixes entirely.

Here's the setting for your .vscode/settings.json:

{
    "ruff.codeAction.disableRuleComment": {
        "enable": false
    }
}
