I use Python with Visual Studio 2019. And the repo got a big requirements.txt that generates a env\ folder. When I hit "CTRL+," (CTRL and comma) to open the "Navigate To" box it searches everywhere in the project, including the env\ folder which is a problem.

Is there a way to exclude folders from this search?

    Hi LordWolfenstein,

    For your requirement, there are only two settings of this “Go to” commands which control the scope of searching. Please refer to this document Filter to a specific location and try to select and use “Current Document" button to search.

    Besides, I tried to reproduce your issue but didn’t see the newly generated env\ folder, could you share some reproduced steps with me for further check?

    Sincerely,
    Tianyu
