# ⚠️ NOTE: THIS IS A FORK
This is a fork of the original symbols-outline.nvim which merges some selected
PRs from the original repo, plus some other improvements due to personal
preferences.
It does not attempt to be an up-to-date successor of the original repo, nor does
it attempt to ensure everyone's use-cases are satisfied by providing an overall
better experience. It is merely a fork which I maintain for my personal
use-cases which incorporates some selected PRs.
## Maintenance status
This fork is NOT guaranteed to be completely bug-free, nor as stable as the
original. However, since I use this plugin myself, it is guaranteed that
selected issues that I encounter myself would be fixed (to the best of my
ability).
I do not merge PRs from the original repo that I don't personally need.
- **DO use this fork if**:
- You want to use features available in this fork, which are not included
upstream (listed below)
- You MIGHT want some up-to-date fixes to problems (that I also face) but is
OK with some things not being looked after well (things I don't personally use)
- **Do NOT use this fork if**:
- You want a stable plugin
- You don't need the extra features in this fork
## Features
Below is a list of features I've included in this fork which, at the time of
writing, has not been included upstream (in the original repo). I try my best to
keep this list up to date.
- Feat: Toggling folds (and added default keymaps for it)
(simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#194)
- Feat: when `auto_close=true` only auto close if `goto_location` is used (where
focus changed), and not for `focus_location` (simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#119)
- Fix `SymbolsOutlineClose` crashing when already closed: simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#163 (simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#168)
- Support Nerd fonts v3.0: simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#225

# symbols-outline.nvim
**A tree like view for symbols in Neovim using the Language Server Protocol.
Supports all your favourite languages.**

## Prerequisites
- `neovim 0.7+`
- Properly configured Neovim LSP client
## Installation
Use `hedyhli/symbols-outline.nvim` if you wish to use this fork.
Packer:
```lua
use 'simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim'
```
Lazy:
```lua
{
"simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim",
config = function()
-- Example mapping to toggle symbols-outline
vim.keymap.set("n", "tt", "SymbolsOutline",
{ desc = "SymbolsOutline" })
require("symbols-outline").setup {
-- Your setup opts here (optional)
}
end,
},
```
## Setup
Put the setup call in your init.lua or any lua file that is sourced.
**NOTE**: A call to `.setup()` is *required* for this plugin to work!
(simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#213)
```lua
require("symbols-outline").setup()
```
## Configuration
Pass a table to the setup call above with your configuration options.
```lua

show_guides = true,
auto_preview = false,
position = 'right',
relative_width = true,
