I'm using IntelliJ with Java and the "Always Select Opened File" function enabled.

I like when the IDE jumps to the class in the package list, but it will also expand the "External Libraries" making the whole "Project" view pretty messy.

Is there a way to stop IntelliJ from expanding External Libraries?

Same problem. Especially when you have a lot maven artifacts of your own.

Did not find any appropriate plugin.

Workaround: Switch in "Project Tool Window" from "Project View" to "Packages" and disable "Show Library Contents" (can be found where is "Autoscroll from Source" option located )

Switching to "Project Files" from "Project" helped me in PyCharm. Probably will work the same way in IntelliJ IDEA: enter image description here
