I wish VSCode would figure out that ExampleModel.objects.first() returns ExampleModel or None or ExampleModel.objects.filter() returns an iterable of ExampleModel. Has anybody gotten this working, automatically or manually annotating?

You can annotate the manager and get some typing help in the editor. And there’s django-stubs which helps a little when running mypy. It’s not as good as pycharm though.

Could you share a guide on that?

I don't have anything specific but here's something I quickly threw together demonstrating what I mean https://gist.github.com/jarshwah/1e683416d2ed2df28f254fc787d...

It's not a shortcoming of vscode it's due to the dynamic untyped nature of Django models unless you have a plugin or add typing to your own managers
