aerial.nvim is a Neovim plugin that displays a code outline window for skimming and quick navigation within files. It builds symbol outlines from Treesitter parsers or LSP backends and integrates with pickers like Telescope and fzf-lua.

Use cases

  • show a code outline sidebar in neovim
  • quickly jump to functions and symbols in a file
  • skim the structure of a large source file
  • navigate code using treesitter symbols
  • list symbols from LSP in a navigation window

When to choose

  • you use Neovim 0.11+ and want a symbol outline window
  • you have Treesitter or LSP set up and want faster code navigation
  • you want outline integration with Telescope, fzf-lua, or lualine

When to avoid

  • you use Vim without Neovim or an older Neovim version
  • you have neither Treesitter parsers nor a working LSP setup
  • you want an IDE-style outline outside the terminal
