Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. More an aesthetic issue. Describe the solution you'd like The View menu includes options to Show/Hide the Explorer, Search, SCM , Run and Extensions icons in the Activity Bar. Why doesn't it include the same for the AutoLISP Project Manager?

I looked into this, but what I read made me think this was more effort than its really worth.

Basically, we are currently using contribution points to generate the viewContainer/view and the registration of the provider essentially populates the stuff the contributes created for us.

With that said, the "contibutes->"menus"->"editor/title" that is the representation of this issue needs a command to create/destroy/persist across sessions of all that stuff we are currently getting for free.

From what I can tell, this is all very possible, but it does look like a very large exercise for very little gain. Note this is a good reference I found: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/tree/main/tree-view-sample

Edit: Highly unlikely, but we can access our package.json providing these free items using context.extension.packageJSON.contributes.viewsContainers maybe we could keep the free stuff, but make a command to dynamically create/destroy it with a simple json string? Doubtful, but if possible, this would be a path of a least resistance.
