The symbols list in the sidebar shows functions, classes, variables, sections, headings and whatever else is appropriate for the currently open document.
To do so, Geany uses the Universal Ctags library (https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags) which parses according to the used filetype so called symbols and shows them in the symbols tab. (This is technically quite rough but it should give you a picture.) I don't think you have to configure anything to make it work, it should just work. You just need to have documents opened which have a filetype set and for which a symbols parser exist (this is true for many but not all filetypes, at least for the major ones). For a config file it might look like: <img width="344" height="637" alt="Screenshot_2025-08-10_14-16-21" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/eb2787e4-81c6-4b34-b64b-114ba08d0c59"; /> Or for some C code: <img width="451" height="632" alt="Screenshot_2025-08-10_14-22-45" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4066867a-2a66-4f78-8392-fc23731f890d"; /> -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/discussions/4399#discussioncomment-14063845 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
