Feature request: Outline view

[fistorres]

Hello.

Thanks for developing this app, much appreciated.

My feature request is super simple: show the notebook outline in the changes view. This way, I can easily review the structure of the notebook just as I do when I use an IDE.

Thanks :)

@fistorres Thank you for the feedback & the feature request.

When you say "Outline", do you mean something like the one shown in VS Code (screenshot below) — essentially a table of contents for the notebook?

[fistorres]

Yes, exactly that :)

Thanks for confirming. Some quick questions -

• Would you find this useful mainly while reviewing a new notebook? (assuming that's where you review the entire notebook) or Would you also find it useful when reviewing a diff e.g. say a small change in a couple of cells.

• What would you expect the outline item to be (if any) in case of a code cell or a markdown cell without a header?

[fistorres]

The first case, with the new notebook is more important but both would be useful.

Probably I would expected the outline item to not show up as that would be a user mistake which I would probably request for them to fix it.

Quick question - how would you expect code cells to be shown on the outline, if at all?
