Tip: Improving VS Code's display of mod.rs files

Editors and IDEs

A conversation on Zulip led to someone mentioning a recent new feature in VS Code where the display of certain file names can be customized. In particular, if you add this configuration:

  "workbench.editor.customLabels.patterns": {
    "**/mod.rs": "${dirname}/mod.rs"
  },

then rather than labeling mod.rs files with the directory name only if you have more than one open, VS Code will always display the directory name — and even include it in file search results. The same thing could be done with lib.rs, main.rs, build.rs and other such file names.
