Why does vs code prefix my file search with a hash? i.e. '#'

Viewed 1129

When I search for files in vs code I press CMD+T and a popup appears so I can search my projects files.

For some reason the search input box defaults with a hash '#' which I always have to first delete before typing in the filename I want to search for.

Is there a way to remove this and why does it do this in the first place?

CMD+T is the keyboard shortcut for 'Go to symbol' not file search. If you are looking for files, CMD+P is the keyboard shortcut on macOS. screenprint
