symbols-view-redux

A refactor of symbols-view.

This is, in all likelihood, a temporary package; the code here will be contributed back to symbols-view unless it’s too disruptive.

Design

Design document is here.

Usage

• Install this package.
• Install any number of symbol providers (see below).
• If key shortcuts still invoke the old symbols-view, you may want to disable it.

Providers

Exclusive providers

More than one of these can (and should) be installed, but every request for symbols will choose one of these providers at most:

• symbol-provider-tree-sitter: Uses Tree-sitter queries to identify symbols.
• symbol-provider-ctags: Uses ctags to identify symbols. (The built-in symbols-view package uses this approach.)

Supplementary providers

Any number of these providers can be installed, and each one can optionally contribute symbols to any request for symbols. These tend to be specialized and to contribute symbols that an exclusive provider would not:

• symbol-provider-bookmarks: Represents bookmarks as file symbols.
