Configuration for the use of aliases and path mappings in imports

It is now possible to configure how aliases and path mappings will be used when adding imports automatically in JavaScript and TypeScript files. If you want to use relative paths when importing a symbol in the nearby file and use path mappings or aliases everywhere else in your app, you can select Only in files outside specified paths in the new option Use path mappings/aliases in Preferences / Settings | Editor | Code Style | JavaScript or TypeScript – Imports.
