Do other devs just open up multiple vs code windows for each project or something? I can't stand not being able to run everything in the same window with ctrl P picking up files from across projects as a reference. I feel like I'm the odd one out because I've noticed a lot of languages and Lang servers are making these assumptions about how devs work and organise code. Or they're just being perfectionist opinionated twats.
