visual studio code quick open shows only visited files - visual-studio-code

I just started to use vscode. It seems I can't correctly use Quick open (Control-p). It only shows already visited files. Is there some configuration I need to set to change this behaviour?
I'd like to open them in fuzzy way and I seem to understand that it should be possible but again that doesn't work. My (django) project has 7/8 files named 'models.py' but if I write 'mdl' I don't find anything. Nor it does if I write part of the directory name.
I'm using version 1.18.0-insider

Solved: it seems it all depended on a wrong pattern in file exclude. I added '/.pyc' when the correct pattern was '*/.pyc'. I realized when searching and an error was raised.

Find project files in RubyMine not working

Every time I look for a file using the files finder console the file does not show up as a result of the search despite its existence in the project.
At certain point this feature was working but I may have change some configuration in Rubymine involuntary. Any help it's welcome!
That's a known issue already fixed: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-266391
Builds with the fix will be added to that issue so you can follow it.
As a workaround, please try invoking File - Invalidate Caches (still the issue might come back).

How to expand VScode directories

I know this has been answered somewhere before, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to properly Google this query. I got a new computer and I've mostly setup my Visual Studio Code environment, but I have never liked the shorthand directory structure if defaults to. I want to change my directories to be full dropdowns and not a one-line somedirectory/subdirectory/subdirectory/something.js
Apparently there is some fancy word for it but I have no idea what that word is and it's making my searching surprisingly difficult.
So, what setting do I need to change in VScode to make all of my directories follow the format that Collection has in the example below and not like lessons/flashcards?
Thanks!
TLDR; I want every directory to be a full dropdown. None of this lessons/flashcards nonsense.
To Achieve this go to your vs code settings and search Compact Folders. It will be checked by default. Uncheck that and it will work.

How do I turn off "Contains emphasized items" in Visual Studio code?

I need to figure out how to turn off emphasized items in Visual Studio Code
This might sound like a strange requirement, but in my workflow vscode functions as less an IDE than a cross-platform ViM-esque frontend with lots of remote development tools built-in.
Due to this use case, I don't need or want the linting features to show up in the file browser. How might I accomplish this?
Attempts to solve the problem
I've run out of search terms here and cannot find an answer.
Searches including terms in this question's title yielded little
SO-specific search queries also yielded little
This seems to be somewhat related, at least as a representation of the "feature" I'm referencing: VS code containes emphasized items but no error
VSCode "preferences" do not appear to show what I'm looking for, likely an issue with me not searching for the right variable name.
In my experience with VSCode it has been wonderfully customize-able, so I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere ready to be modified to accomplish this. Any help much appreciated, thanks!
My use case was a bit different: after viewing some files in a git submodule those files became linted, and errors and warnings cluttered up my VS Code Explorer file browser window on files I had no intention of ever handling. I basically wanted a way to clear out those lint warnings, and found it here. The solution is to reload the window:
CtrlShiftP on Windows/Linux, ⌘ShiftP on Mac -- then select "Developer: Reload Window"
One by-product of reloading the window is that it clears out those unwanted warnings (at least until the next time I visit the file). It also has the effect of clearing out warnings on files that I would normally want to see, of course, but chances are I'll be visiting those files again soon, so it's fine. Not a perfect solution, but it works for me and my use-case; hopefully it can help others.
I don't know how to turn it off, but I had this on multiple folders and I fixed it by renaming the folder to a random name, then naming it back to the name it was before and the error would go away.
If you have this issuse then uninstall extention then CtrlShiftP on Windows/Linux, ⌘ShiftP on Mac -- then select "Developer: Reload Window" then type developer: relode page this issuse automatically resovle
i have this issuse then i uninstall extension then this issuse resolve.
I was able to permanently prevent this by adding the files to the .gitignore file. It seems that this happens in a cloned repository when you add new files.

Visual studio code extension: How can I add error markers to files in the explorer?

I have written a validator for my vscode extension, which uses a DiagnosticCollection to set errors for files. This works and the errors are shown when a file is opened.
I would now like to mark files in the explorer, so that it is easy to find files with errors. Here is an example]of how it looks in Eclipse:
Is it possible to do this in a vscode extension? Is there already an extension doing this?
Unfortunately, you can't do that.
There is an open issue asking something related to Git, but not as open as you want. Maybe using the API described in this another issue you could create a new panel with the marked files.
It is still experimental, BTW...

Any way to disable syntax checking for a project?

I created a project "Sample Code"... here I just paste sample code... much of it is snippets that won't compile.
Is there some project-specific setting I can make so that Eclipse doesn't try to compile it?
I would prefer not to have the source code littered with red error markers.
Put your code in a non-java project, ie a general project.
Downside: you will have to create package directory structure (unless you can copy and paste from somewhere else).
Upside: it won't try to compile.
MY SOLUTION
ok, this is not an exact solution to my problem... but it is another way to do it and I kinda like it now...
I simply forget about using Eclipse to store the sample java files!
I found a good program CodeBox for Mac to store code snippets and I'm sure there exist such things for Windows, Linux too...
there interesting thing is that when I choose from this program to open the java snippet file (.java) in an external editor (Eclipse), it will open in Eclipse without any Syntax checking... wohoo! no squiggly lines
Because of this, it is not full blown code highlighting... classes and variables same color... but that's ok.. still quite readable. Much more than if it was in Eclipse with syntax highlighting running on it...
So basically, if you want to get rid of these red squiggles... one way to do it is don't keep sample .java (or other language) files in a project in Eclipse... simply keep them in the filesystem or code storage app and open them with Eclipse when you want to view them.
Depending on how you prefer to structure your project:
you could put your java files into a separate folder that is not configured as a source folder. There is an entry in the eclipse help on how to configure your build path.
or you can set exclusion-patterns in the build configuration, so that specific packages or files that follow a pattern you define don't get compiled.
Yet another way to handle your snippets could be to use a Scrapbook page.
Eclipse won't highlight anything in a scrapbook page but you can select code parts inside the page and execute them isolated. That's nice if you're experimenting and don't want to set up a whole class with imports and methods just to see if a specific snippet works as expected.
