Description

When you use Rstudio you can view lists in beautiful way, as you can see each level as a table.

Research direction

The issue only provides screenshots comparing RStudio and VS Code list views; no file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the extension's current object and list display, then compare its navigation with the requested table-per-level view. Done means nested lists are easier to navigate in a comparable view, with coverage for the changed behavior.
