[Feature request description] A sideabar showing the headlines/structure of current code/text file.

[Why] When browsing through a long text file (e.g., markdown type), it's painful to locate and navigate. An outline of contents at sidebar would greatly improve the efficiency.

Thank you very much for the great work.

A proper outline would require sending requests and parsing responses from LSP, maybe with Document Symbols Request I personally don't use LSP but we do have some LSP plugins however I don't think they have something similar to what you want yet.

That being said, I have a "minimap" feature in my plugin that summarizes the file based on the indentations, which works fine for coding, not so much on files like markdowns :sweat_smile:

Glad to know that. Thanks a lot.
