Description
Go to Definition opens the source files for the standard library and external crates, where a missclick could change them.
The new setting files.readonlyInclude with
"files.readonlyInclude": {
"C:/Users/anton/.rustup/**/*": true,
"C:/Users/anton/.cargo/**/*": true,
}
where the correct locations are automatic generated would prevent mistakes.
I would appreciate if the extension could change the user setting automatic. Maybe a small question, when the extension is activated with yes, no and never.
