Note: `file_ignore_patterns` will be used in all pickers that have a
file associated. This might lead to the problem that lsp_ pickers
aren't displaying results because they might be ignored by
`file_ignore_patterns`. For example, setting up node_modules as ignored
will never show node_modules in any results, even if you are
interested in lsp_ results.
If you only want `file_ignore_patterns` for `find_files` and
`grep_string`/`live_grep` it is suggested that you setup `gitignore`
and have fd and or ripgrep installed because both tools will not show
`gitignore`d files on default.
