So, from time to time, I like to look at the type definitions coming from third-party libraries in my code because TypeScript typenames can be pretty opaque, at least for me. I’d normally use the ctrl + p with the # symbol in the command bar to search for symbols and these search results come from both third-party libraries in node_modules and my project code. Well, turns out this behavior was switched out for a default of not including library symbols.

Since I like to have this, I looked around and found a way to get it back.

• Search for ‘typescript symbols’ in the settings page for VSCode and turn of the Typescript > Workspace Symbols: Exclude Library Symbols option. More formally:
  • "typescript.workspaceSymbols.excludeLibrarySymbols": false
