Customize custom view height

[HuihuiWu-Microsoft]

As you can see, the 'open editors' view has dynamic height according to its content. Can we customize our view( which in inside custom view container) height like that?

Open editors has some custom code for doing this https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/src/vs/workbench/contrib/files/browser/views/openEditorsView.ts#L418

I believe this is not possible with custom views, and I think is a feature request against custom views thus forwarding to @alexr00

Notes about proposal:

vscode/src/vscode-dts/vscode.proposed.contribViewSize.d.ts

Lines 9 to 19 in 0c00dfc

	/**
	* View contributions can include a `size`, which can be `fit` or a number. Using a number works similar to the css flex property.
	*
	* For example, if you have 3 views, with sizes 1, 1, and 2, the views of size 1 will together take up the same amount of space as the view of size 2.
	*
	* A view with `size` `fit` will try to fit the contents of the view. Currently only supported for tree views.
	*
	* A number value will only be used as an initial size.
	* A 'fit' value will always be respected.
