Description

Using a transpiled language I sometimes find the need to look at the transpiled code which typically is excluded from QuickOpen. Having a simple way to turn exclusions off would simplify this. Some options come to mind:

  • Have a 'Turn Off Exclusions' entry at the end of the results list.
  • Have an additional QuickOpen prefix that runs QuickOpen with exclusions turned off.
  • Have an option toggle next to the QuickOpen entry field to turn exclusions off.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the QuickOpen implementation and the files.exclude setting to understand how exclusions are applied. Explore the UI code for suggestions to add a toggle.
