Limit Refactoring Scope in Webstorm

Is there a way to configure Webstorm so that when it refactors, it ignores specific areas of my project. Specifically, I would like to be able to ignore folders containing 3rd party dependencies and built assets, such as node_modules.

You can also mark directories as completely ignored - they will then not show up in Webstorm's project view, will not be included in searches, won't be scanned when refactoring, etc. This is typically useful for directories containing built assets.

Right click on the folder in the project view, and choose "Mark Directory As", then select "Ignored".

You can make a JavaScript library of these folders as described here. They will be excluded from renaming and other refactorings scope.
