No intellisense for some typings until tsconfig.json created

[benjaminRomano]

For some typings, intellisense does not start working until a tsconfig.json config file is included. Is this intended behavior?

Case 1:
Gulp typings without a tsconfig.json included. Typings work

Case 2:
Extjs typings without a tsconfig.json. Typings don't work

Case 3:
Extjs typings with a tsconfig.json.Typings work

For TS files you either need a tsconfig.json file or use /// reference imports. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/typescript

I tryed.
I have typings/extjs/ExtJS.d.ts.
I have created a jsconfig.json at root level of my Sencha ExtJS 6 project folder:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "target": "ES5",
        "outDir": "out",
        "noLib": true,
        "sourceMap": true
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules",
        "ext",
        "overrides",
        "resources",
        "sass",
        "build",
        "packages",
        "help"
    ]
}

When I open any js file I just get a popdown Warning saying:

Sorry, but there are too many JavaScript source files for VS Code. Consider using the exclude-property in jsconfig.json.

And no IntelliSense.

I have another web project that is not a Sencha MVC project, but uses ExtJS 4 on js files. In this project I get no warnings, but I get no IntelliSense as well.

@EthraZa can you please open a separate issue for the JS behavior. This is independent of the TS problem you described here.
