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)
Fix SymbolsOutlineClose crashing when already closed: simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#163
Support Nerd fonts v3.0: simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#225
Fix newlines in symbols crash: simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#204 (simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#184)
Fix code_actions: simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#168 (simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#123)
Fix fold all operation too slow: simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#223 (simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim#224)

TODO

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:

use 'simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim'

Lazy:

{
  "simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim",
  config = function()
    -- Example mapping to toggle symbols-outline
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>tt", "<cmd>SymbolsOutline<CR>",
      { 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)

require("symbols-outline").setup()
