Navigation sidebar with an outliner / table of contents

Hi!

Love what you are doing with Marker. Despite Markdown's popularity, there are surprisingly few well-designed Markdown editors.

A crucial feature for managing larger documents is a sidebar for quick navigation. For some inspiration, here's a picture of the Markdown editor Abricotine's ToC sidebar:

The great thing about such a sidebar is that it could either be very simple, like that of Abricotine, or quite advanced, allowing the user to re-arrange and delete sections. I personally just would like a simple way to see the structure of my document.

I agree that this is a very useful feature.

Another way of doing this could be a button that opens a menu with the outline, which saves some space compared to a sidebar.

This could be something like the function selector in GNOME Builder.

That's another good idea, especially the search bar. The only problem is that you would lose the "constant overview" of the document unless the outline could be kept open while writing. For me, personally, I have lots of room on my screen, but I do understand your point. I'm sure both approaches could be combined.

I love the idea, make a request for it and found the post, is it still on the todo list? It's been six years.
