If I open a file in my normal project source, I can press Ctrl+Shift+E from the editor so that the file is focused within the "explorer" section . This does not work for node_modules. I have not added node_modules to files.exclude, so the folder shows up in the explorer, but the above behaviour is not observed. Is there a way to jump to a file within node_modules?
>Solution :
CtrlShiftE doesn’t reveal the file, it only focuses the Explorer view which has the opened file active by default. So that won’t work for files not currently visible in Explorer.
You need the Reveal in Explorer View command. It has no keybinding by default. You may find in in tab context menu or in command pallete
edit: it’s search.exclude option that controls this
Configure glob patterns for excluding files and folders in fulltext searches and quick open. Inherits all glob patterns from the #files.exclude# setting.
