<p dir="auto">In our project we have a number of files where tabs are strictly required (a format we do not control). However, we want to normalize tabs to spaces throughout the rest of the project.</p>
<p dir="auto">For now, I just ask that people don't edit those files in VSCode. I even considered adding them to the ignore list for VSCode itself. But it's not uncommon to have file-specific settings, so I thought it would be nice if VSCode allowed for more complex patterns - much like <code class="notranslate">files.exclude</code>, perhaps something like:</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-json notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" dir="auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="&quot;editor.insertSpaces&quot;: true,
&quot;diffEditor.ignoreTrimWhitespace&quot;: true,
&quot;files.settings&quot;: {
  &quot;**/*.idt&quot;: {
    &quot;editor.insertSpaces&quot;: false,
    &quot;diffEditor.ignoreTrimWhitespace&quot;: false
  }
}"><pre class="notranslate"><span class="pl-ent">"editor.insertSpaces"</span>: <span class="pl-c1">true</span>,
<span class="pl-ent">"diffEditor.ignoreTrimWhitespace"</span>: <span class="pl-c1">true</span>,
<span class="pl-ent">"files.settings"</span>: {
  <span class="pl-ent">"**/*.idt"</span>: {
    <span class="pl-ent">"editor.insertSpaces"</span>: <span class="pl-c1">false</span>,
    <span class="pl-ent">"diffEditor.ignoreTrimWhitespace"</span>: <span class="pl-c1">false</span>
  }
}</pre></div>
<p dir="auto">The new fuzzy file picker makes it really hard to me to find files in huge projects (~5,000 source files). Regardless of what I'm typing in the file picker I receive a lot of results I definitely don't want. Example below:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/3448684/12812691/b717e3da-cb33-11e5-8fa8-43488987fbc5.png"><img src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/3448684/12812691/b717e3da-cb33-11e5-8fa8-43488987fbc5.png" alt="fuzzyfilepicker" style="max-width: 100%;"></a></p>
<p dir="auto">The old file picker used to work like the IntelliSense widget which feels consistent to me as a user. Is there a way to turn on the old file picker again?</p>
