A Neovim plugin providing a sidebar with a tree-like outline of code symbols, powered by LSP and treesitter. It is a significantly improved fork of symbols-outline.nvim with auto-updating highlights, collapsible nodes, and symbol previews.

Use cases

  • show a code outline sidebar in neovim
  • navigate code symbols in a tree hierarchy
  • jump to function and class definitions from a sidebar
  • visualize document symbols via LSP
  • preview symbol locations without leaving current buffer
  • replace symbols-outline.nvim with a maintained fork

When to choose

  • you use Neovim 0.7+ with a configured LSP client and want a symbol outline sidebar
  • you want treesitter-based outlines for JSX, Markdown, Norg, or man pages
  • you need auto-updating cursor highlighting and collapsible symbol trees

When to avoid

  • you use an editor other than Neovim
  • you have no LSP client configured and your language lacks a treesitter provider
  • you prefer built-in features like vim's tag navigation or aerial.nvim
