Outline Panel
In addition to the modal outline (cmd-shift-o), Zed offers an outline panel. The outline panel can be deployed via cmd-shift-b ({#action outline_panel::ToggleFocus} via the command palette), or by clicking the Outline Panel button in the status bar.
When viewing a "singleton" buffer (i.e., a single file on a tab), the outline panel works similarly to that of the outline modal－it displays the outline of the current buffer's symbols. Each symbol entry shows its type prefix (such as "struct", "fn", "mod", "impl") along with the symbol name, helping you quickly identify what kind of symbol you're looking at. Clicking on an entry allows you to jump to the associated section in the file. The outline view will also automatically scroll to the section associated with the current cursor position within the file.
Usage with multibuffers
The outline panel truly excels when used with multi-buffers. Here are some examples of its versatility:
Project Search Results
Get an overview of search results across your project.
Project Diagnostics
View a summary of all errors and warnings reported by the language server.
Find All References
Quickly navigate through all references when using the {#action editor::FindAllReferences} action.
The outline view provides a great way to quickly navigate to specific parts of your code and helps you maintain context when working with large result sets in multi-buffers.
