Aerial is entirely built for visualizing and navigating the symbols in a single file. How are you thinking this would work, and how would it differ from :Telescope lsp_workspace_symbols?

ivanjermakov commented 5 months ago

@stevearc :Telescope lsp_workspace_symbols is not respecting symbol "depth" in any way, it's just a flat list of every symbol in a project.

Aerial is depth-aware and can provide a nicer output. I imagine Aerial output would be like current single-file output but joining every file in a workspace.
