The sidebar is on the left side of the editor area and supports two views.

File Tree View

Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+3

After opening a folder, the file tree view shows the workspace file and folder structure:

  • Expand/Collapse: Click folder icons to expand or collapse
  • Open File: Click a file name to open it in the editor
  • Context Menu: Right-click files or folders for rename, delete, and other operations

Outline View

Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+1

The outline view automatically extracts the heading structure (H1–H6) of the current document and displays it as a tree:

  • Quick Jump: Click a heading in the outline to scroll the editor to that position
  • Current Position Highlight: The heading at the current cursor position is highlighted in the outline
  • Collapse/Expand: Click arrows before headings to collapse or expand sub-headings
  • Batch Operations: Expand all / Collapse all headings
  • Heading Numbers: Option to show heading numbers
