Quickly toggle between hiding and showing files defined in your projects files.exclude setting.

peep's Issues

Consider using the WorkspaceConfguration API

Now that there is an API for accessing the active configuration, without having to read and write files, this can make this extension much faster.

http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/vscode-api - Search for getConfiguration.

You can also see the API in the TS definition file: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/vscode.d.ts#L3866

Thanks for a great extension.

Suggestion: Add a peepToggle command

You've defined two commands: extension.peepAll and extension.peepNone. It would be great if you could also define an extension.peepToggle command, which would simply toggle the setting between true and false. This is especially handy because it can be bound to a keyboard shortcut to easily show/hide excluded files.

Not working with conditional exclude pattern

Hide the .js sibling files of typescript .ts with:

"**/*.js": {
      "when": "$(basename).ts"
    }

Visibility of .js file did not change with Peep command. Peep only toggle the boolean value.

I suggest that the Peep should just comment/uncomment the whole "files.exclude" section.

Suggestion: Use JSON5.parse() instead of JSON.parse()

The code currently uses JSON.parse() to read the settings file, so it throws an error if the file contains comments. The default settings.json file that is generated by VSCode has comments in it, which crashes Peep.

I recommend using JSON5, which gives you a .parse() function that supports comments, and other "technically invalid" JSON syntax, such as trailing commas and unquoted strings. Or you could use strip-json-comments, which simply removes comments from JSON, but doesn't handle the other things that JSON5 handles.

Of course, you'd still use JSON.stringify() when saving the file, so the comments will still be lost. But at least the code will still work and won't throw an error.

Does not work with multi-root workspaces

The Extension does not work with multiroot workspaces.

Add option to also toggle `explorer.excludeGitIgnore`

VS Code has added the setting explorer.excludeGitIgnore to also exclude files which are included in git ignore. It would be great if peep could also quickly toggle this setting.

Peeked files opacity

It'd be cool if peep'd files were semi-transparent when toggled to differentiate them from files that are not hidden.
