visual-studio-code: How to open the outline panel collapsed

Question

Is there any setting (or extension) to open the outline panel collapsed and keep it collapsed until I click on a item. Thanks

Answer 1

In recent VSCode (version 1.73+), there is an option for this:

Open Settings and find outline.collapseItems option (just search for collapse word is enough), then select AlwaysCollapse for it as shown below:

Settings > outline.collapseItems
