Permanent expand for all outline nodes and multiple words use for regions and tag naming #80

Hi,

Good extension and very good work, I congratulate you warmly, well done.

Problems

  1. For my way of working, I prefer to open the nodes and scroll manually for technical reasons. When I am on a file, I expand all my nodes and I place myself in the right place in the outline map, but if I change the tab to go to another file, when I return the nodes are all collapsed and the scroll is lost, and I have to redo everything. It's not practical, it's frustrating, tedious, and it wastes a lot of time.

  2. To name a region or a tag we can only use one word (or expression with no spaces), but sometimes this is not enough and we don't always want to use dashes and underscores in these names

Solutions

  1. I have a suggestion to make, for a feature that I really need and could be very useful. Can you add a parameter in the configuration to allow all nodes in the document to be always expanded?

  2. Can you allow multiple words to be used in region and tag names, by placing these words in a suitable pattern, such as between quotes => "several words for name" or between square brackets [several words for name] or any other pattern you prefer, it can be very useful.

I unfortunately haven't found any way around this and I don't want to look for another extension because outline-map works well for me, apart from the problem I described above.

I thank you very much for you work, I hope that you will find my remarks relevant and that you will give them interest.

I wish you good luck, looking forward to a new update.

Kindly, Adil
