How to remove the "recently opened" list from the quick open panel in VS Code?

Question

Using the quick open shortcut (CTRL/CMD + P) to navigate files always put the recently opened files first, then the file results.

I would like it to show me only the file results, or at least put them first, but I can't find any options that would do this. Does it exists? Or do I just lack the right term to search ?

Answer 1

Use this in your VS Code settings (Code -> Preferences -> Settings in macOS, File > Preferences > Settings on Windows/Linux). Open the Settings in JSON format (document icon on the top right of the tab bar), and add:

"search.quickOpen.includeHistory": false
