VSC: Refactor in user source folders only

In Visual Studio Code 1.68.1. under Ubuntu 22.04, whenever I try to refactor (rename, F2) a variable, it searches through all the files under the project tree. Then it suggests in the preview the ones that are actually involved. It's correct, but exploring all the files may take a lot of time.

Is there a way to tell VSC to look at the user source files only? I mean the ones under include and src? Or, even better, select (or exclude) directories for refactoring?

I read this question, but it's related to a search rather than a refactoring.

@rioV8, I added the extension tag because perhaps there is an extension that provides a better refactoring feature – Mark Jul 11 '22 at 07:18
that is not what that tag is for – rioV8 Jul 11 '22 at 12:12
