Feature request: Filter/group items by type in the problems tab #41114

  • vscode 1.19.1
  • C/C++ 0.14.5

I find it unfortunate to mix intellisense/lint errors and build errors/warnings in the "Problems" tab. I might have several multi-root folders in my workspaces, some with broken intellisense include paths and others without. I would still want to be able to build a single project, and only attend to the build specific compilation errors in the "Problems" tab.

Currently it is annoying to expand/collapse, scroll and search though the interleaved items when solving build errors (compiler/linker/...).

Would it be possible to either:

  • Add an optional filter to exclude items by type in the problem tab
  • Group the items in the problem tab by type
  • Add a specific problem tab for build errors

Possibility to navigate the problem items by type would also be great. For instance by binding keys to next/previous item by type.
