How to set VSCODE to increment file name when making a copy?

Question

VSCode for mac Version 1.36.1, if that's relevant.

When I select a file and ⌘+C / ⌘+V, the new file name used to be incremented, for example file1.txt => file2.txt. But now somehow it changed. It will be file1.txt => file1 copy.txt.

I want to get the previous behavior back, or even better, to customize how the copied file should be renamed.

Please help.

This was intentionally changed in VS Code 1.36.

In VS Code 1.38, a new setting "explorer.incrementalNaming": "smart" was added that reverts to the old incremental file naming behavior
