Go to Symbol from Outline Panel?

[JamieMason]

Hey, thanks for such a great Editor. I have a quick question please.

1. Open a file containing some code
2. Hit cmd+shift+b to open the Outline Panel
3. Use the arrow keys to move to a symbol

How can I go to that symbol and begin editing it? The best I've managed is using g space which will scroll to it, but when using eg. cmd+k cmd+→ to focus the code buffer, the cursor is still elsewhere in the file.

I've tried Enter, cmd+Enter etc but can't figure it out.

Outline.Panel.mov

Thanks a lot

There's no default binding right now, but something like

"shift-space": ["outline_panel::Open", { "change_selection": true }],

could be bound additionally.

I am not sure whether we should add that binding by default, or change the navigation in the outline panel entirely, navigating to each place when the outline panel entry is selected, and placing the caret there on "open".

Do you have any opinion?

Thanks a lot, adding that to my keymap has solved my problem 🎉

Do you have any opinion?

My intuition was that it would behave the same way as the project panel, where pressing Enter opens the file and focuses on its buffer. Rightly or wrongly, I expected that pressing Enter over eg has_same_key_order in my video would scroll to that function and focus on the file buffer, with the cursor on that line.

I agree with @JamieMason. Is there an issue tracking this, or is discussions the right place? I see that this discussion is closed, which might make it easy to forget about.
