Aboveskip on minted?

Question

I'm using minted inside a multicol enviroment and would like to remove the spacing at the start of the first column. I found the answer for belowskip and I am looking for the same code for aboveskip:

Belowskip on minted?

Edit: muzimuzhi-z provided a great answer. This allows for nice two column listings:

\documentclass[aspectratio=1610]{beamer}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\usepackage{minted}
\makeatletter
% new fancyvrb options "above space" and "below vspace"
\define@key{FV}{above vspace}[\topsep]{\def\FancyVerbAboveVspace{#1}}
\define@key{FV}{below vspace}[\topsep]{\def\FancyVerbBelowVspace{#1}}
% redefine existing option "vspace"
\define@key{FV}{vspace}[\topsep]{%
  \def\FancyVerbAboveVspace{#1}\def\FancyVerbBelowVspace{#1}}
% init
\fvset{vspace}
% patch fancyvrb internals
\xpatchcmd\FV@ListVSpace

fancyvrb has an undocumented option vspace which controls both the above and below skip. This option has default and initial value \topsep and was supported since fancyvrb v3.0 2018/11/01

In below example two more options above vspace and below vspace are added. Now

total above skip is <above vspace> + \parskip (+ \partopsep)
total below skip is <below vspace> + \parskip (+ \partopsep)

see https://latexref.xyz/list.html for how the above and below skip is calculated in a normal list.

\end{document}

The following three lines add minted interface:

\minted@def@optfv{vspace}
\minted@def@optfv{above vspace}
\minted@def@optfv{below vspace}
