Explorer Exclude Toggle is a VS Code extension that allows you to easily toggle the files.exclude settings in your user or workspace settings.
Motivation
Managing larger projects in VS Code containing numerous template and generator files clutters the workspace. While these files may be hidden by setting files.exclude, occasional modifications or additions require their visibility. Explorer Exclude Toggle provides a quick and efficient solution to toggle the visibility of these files in the VS Code explorer.

Usage
Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) to open the Command Palette.
Type one of the following commands and select it:

Use the status bar icon to quickly toggle file visibility.
