Vimtex: quickfix window height

[sharethewisdom]

This is a request for a small change.
I'd like the quickfix window height to be len(getqflist()) when it is less than ten.

could you maybe change:

https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/blob/f4c8a98c23fdf3c385d0a653d44ac22b0256cf36/autoload/vimtex/qf.vim#L82-L92

to something like this?

  if a:force || (g:vimtex_quickfix_mode > 0 && l:errors_or_warnings)
    call s:window_save()
    let s:qf_errors = len(getqflist())
    if s:qf_errors < 10
      execute 'botright cwindow' s:qf_errors
    else
      botright cwindow
    endif
    ...

I don't want to enforce this, sorry. I think this should be a user setting. I personally use the following myself in a personal ftplugin/qf.vim file:

augroup quickfix_autocmds
  autocmd!
  autocmd BufReadPost quickfix call AdjustWindowHeight(2, 30)
augroup END

function! AdjustWindowHeight(minheight, maxheight)
  execute max([a:minheight, min([line('$') + 1, a:maxheight])])
        \ . 'wincmd _'
endfunction

This sets the minimum and maximum height of the quickfix window in a general
manner that works everywhere, not only for LaTeX projects.
