Exclude packages from intellisense #54135
Description
I'd like to excludes packages (whether from @types or not) from intellisense.
Use-case: in a Next.js project, you'll have typings for Node.js. And then even when you're not in server context, but instead are writing typescript meant to run in the browser, typing log will yield:
That's annoying, and you'd almost never want that one anyway. Not even when writing serverside code.
I've tried fiddling with tsconfig to no avail, looking around in editor.suggestions settings, but there's only options for reordering. I would like a way to exclude stuff there.
In this particular case, I would like to exclude the console package, or maybe just all Node.js related packages.
Current workaround is to use the setting "editor.snippetSuggestions": "top".
This achieves the goal of being able to go l o g Enter and end up writing a console.log( );
But it's only a workaround, because the offending package is still there, and this problem might very well occur for other suggestions. I guess the bottomline is, I don't want suggestions for Node.js packages when writing browser code.

In that case it doesn't seem to be working:

So let's not be too sure about this issue being a question, before it actually works 😊

I'm not going to create another issue if a perfectly good one already exists.
