cursor scroll to top after each dependency selected

[stayfool]

After each dependency selected, cursor scroll up to top, if I need more dependency, I have to scroll down over and over, I think this is not a good experience。

@stayfool
Yes, it would be better.

Currently the checkbox-like behavior is implemented by re-rendering the whole list. For the moment, VSCode doesn't provide API to specify an active item of the list. Any suggestion?

BTW, for me, the dependencies I need usually locate in different part of the list, so I'd like to type some keywords to filter the list during selection.

@Eskibear I don't know much about the implementation of VSCode.

Most of the time I know the key dependencies which I need, some extra dependencies is not sure before I see them.

In one word, the proposed behavior cannot be implemented unless VSCode provide either:

• Native checkbox style QuickPick API (related issue: quickpick should have the ability to select multiple items vscode#44891)
  or
• Additional parameter for initial position in QuickPick API.

@stayfool We'll keep an eye on VSCode's release plan for the related API.

VSCode added native checkbox style QuickPick API in v1.22.2.

It's doable now. Tracked in #54 .
