Description
vscode's new feature of sticky scroll in file tree, I think it is really useful for deeply nested file structure.
https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/assets/97848247/4eb242fa-66a8-428d-8050-b32f52f867b8
TreesitterContext has similar function in buffer.
Is this feature possible of using api?
