Quick Pick trees (used for the Tools picker and other hierarchical selection interfaces) were displaying indent guides by default, which added visual noise and reduced readability. The vertical lines created unnecessary clutter in the tree interface, making it harder to focus on the actual content.
This change disables indent guides specifically for Quick Pick trees by setting
renderIndentGuides: RenderIndentGuides.None
in the tree configuration. The fix:RenderIndentGuides
from the abstractTree modulerenderIndentGuides: RenderIndentGuides.None
option to the QuickInputTreeController tree configurationThis aligns the Quick Pick tree behavior with the existing Quick Pick list implementation, which already disables indent guides for the same reason. The change is minimal and surgical, affecting only the visual presentation without impacting any functionality.
Before: Tree shows distracting vertical indent guide lines
After: Clean tree interface without visual noise from indent guides
