Built-in "Hide from Explorer" (one-click hide like Explorer Exclude)

[michaelprys]

Hiding rarely-used files/folders with one click is essential because:

In real projects, 80–90 % of the tree (node_modules, dist, .git, logs, old folders, docs, tests you’re not running now) is visual noise.
This noise kills focus: every time you open the Explorer or Ctrl+P, your eyes scan hundreds of irrelevant items.
files.exclude in Vscode's settings.json is too slow and inconvenient. Hidden files still leak into search, Quick Open, Git changes, etc.

The Explorer Exclude extension (169k + installs) proves the perfect solution already exists:
Right-click → “Hide from Explorer” + eye icon + instant toggle back.

Please make this native (or at least ship this extension as officially built-in).

Thanks! 🙏
