## What it is
A Neovim plugin that provides IDE-like breadcrumbs in the winbar with drop-down menus. It supports multiple symbol sources including LSP, treesitter, markdown, path, and terminal, with zero required dependencies.

## Use cases
- show breadcrumbs for current symbol in neovim
- navigate code structure with a winbar
- click breadcrumb to jump to definition
- drop-down menu of symbols in neovim
- switch terminal buffers from winbar
- truncate long file paths in winbar

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want out-of-the-box IDE-style breadcrumbs
- you want a customizable winbar with LSP and treesitter symbol support
- you prefer zero-dependency plugins with mouse and pick-mode support

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim
- you need breadcrumbs in a GUI IDE like VS Code
- you want a statusline rather than a winbar
