Tree: Support sticky scroll

[maxime4000]

I love sticky scroll, It's really helpful, so I was wondering if we could have it in the folder view ?
I was looking for a way to change the background color of folders because I'm never sure in which folder I am looking at when you have 3 folders which share the same naming pattern in them. Having the sticky scroll in the folder view would solve this problem because I wouldn't need to scroll up to see which parent folder I am looking at.

Just came here to file the same issue. This is also commonly an issue when deep diving somewhere in node_modules, maybe additionally inside one of the packages/* directories in a monorepo. Usually means lots of scrolling!

It would be more beneficial if this feature could work for the general tree-like panes, including the core features like Outline Panel or 3rd-party plugins. It would be possible by providing generalized APIs that plugin developers can access to implement sticky options for their plugins. As I find this feature extremely useful, I hope many plugins would be able to take advantage of it and provide much better UX for the plugin panels.
