VScode: Is there a way to hide symlink results from Goto file.. (quick file open) in VScode? And search in general?

Question

When one searches or uses the Goto file (Quick open) command (cmd+P), the search automatically includes everything from symlink folders. This makes the quick open literary useless if there is a significant symlink folder.

Compare with Atom or Sublime, they only display the 'real' files in their quick opens.

Is there a way to exclude the symlinks? Or is this a feature request?

PS:

In project search, one can forcefully exclude paths, so I exclude the big symlink folders, but it's manual, not persistent, and it still does not affect ctrl+P.

Answer 1

There is a setting that will disable search from following symlinks. Disable:

Search: Follow Symlinks
