Vscode: Control Exclude checkbox in search from extension

[usernamehw]

When executing search from extension api 2 checkboxes are not exposed:

• Preserve Case
• Use Exclude Settings and Ignore Files

vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.action.findInFiles', {
  query: regexStr,
  isRegex: true,
  triggerSearch: true,
});

Hey @usernamehw , Can you please explain a little more about the issue?

[usernamehw]

@dhairyanadapara It's possible to trigger a search from extension by using this api:

vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.action.findInFiles', {
  query: 'example',
});

And it has a good amount of options:

export interface IFindInFilesArgs {
    query?: string;
    replace?: string;
    triggerSearch?: boolean;
    filesToInclude?: string;
    filesToExclude?: string;
    isRegex?: boolean;
    isCaseSensitive?: boolean;
    matchWholeWord?: boolean;
}

But 2 of them are missing:

1. Preserve Case
2. Use Exclude Settings and Ignore Files

Thank @usernamehw, got the idea. I will raise a PR to fix the issue ASAP :)

@roblourens genuinely didn't notice the existing PR, apologies @dhairyanadapara

[dhairyanadapara]

Thanks @roblourens :). No problem @rotem-bar.

It great now that it's possible to control it 👍 but why does it called excludeSettingAndIgnoreFiles? Would it possible to have the same name as in label:

- excludeSettingAndIgnoreFiles
+ useExcludeSettingsAndIgnoreFiles

Updated to useExcludeSettingsAndIgnoreFiles as per @usernamehw's suggestion and for consistency with search editor post #108750. Also added these to the keybindings intellisense registry.
