You know, that Ctrl+Click or Cmd+Click.
Especially for larger folders, like node_modules/ or .venv/.
Apparently, while I am trying to find the right question to ask, I can finally google to find an answer...
It's in Feature Request as well.
Allow to set explorer.autoReveal per specific folder
#87956
Issue Type: Feature Request
node_modules will constantly expand itself in the Explorer, especially if your defining definitions. I typically never want this, I think an exception should be made for showing what file is open if its in node_modules to keep the folder collapsed unless I explicitly expand it.
The reason it's a problem is because there are so many files in node_modules you have to collapse it to keep developing, as it's completely useless in most cases to have it expanded and it pushes your work files off screen.
Proposition:
- Never expand node_modules implicitly
- If goto definition is used into a node_module, go there but do not older current folder state (if its collapsed keep it collapsed, if it was explicitly expanded by user keep it).
- This behavior applies very specifically to node_modules only.
