## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- function: editor, developer-tools
