Relocation of workspace .vscode folder from project root

[DatStorm]

Hey.

Thanks for producing a great tool! At our organization we are trying to keep a clean folder structure and would like to move .vscode folder (red arrow) into the settings folder (green arrow). Though when we do this VS-Code no longer picks it up and the settings is lost.

The feature wanted is a way to specify the workspace path to the .vscode folder.

I don't think it can be moved, but it can be configured not to appear in VS Code Explorer by adding this to .vscode/settings.json

    "files.exclude": {
        ".vscode": true
    },

The files within that folder can be opened via Command Palette and/or action buttons at various places in the UI. When one of the files within it is open the folder appears, then disappears when that is no longer the case.
