I’d like to suggest a feature that adds a toggle button to the file explorer panel, allowing users to hide or show files and folders specified in .cursorignore
.
In many projects, such as Unity projects and similar ones, files like *.meta
can unnecessarily clutter the file tree, yet still need to be accessed occasionally. Having a simple way to temporarily hide these files from the explorer without editing settings or the ignore file itself would be very useful.
The proposed toggle would:
- Reference
.cursorignore
patterns - Control visibility only within the file explorer
- Provide quick access to a cleaner project view when needed
This feature could help reduce workspace noise while keeping ignored files just one click away.
