dsh-code-nav

Browsing code in the DSH Web sidebar usually means plain text or basic highlighting, and jumping to a class, method, or keyword requires scrolling line by line. dsh-code-nav plugs into dsh-better-sidebar to take over code preview rendering and turn file opening into a navigable experience.

The extension covers JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, C/C++, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, Lua, Shell, Vue, Svelte, and SQL, auto-detecting language from file extensions and emitting tokens for comments, strings, keywords, types, numbers, and function names with automatic light/dark theme switching. A symbol outline parses classes, interfaces, structs, enums, impls, methods, and variables, supports filtering by category, and jumps to the target line with a flash. In-file search highlights all matches, emphasises the current one, shows an n/m counter, cycles results with Enter or Shift+Enter, and offers a case-sensitivity toggle.

Best suited for developers who frequently read multi-language code inside DSH Web and prefer a lightweight in-sidebar preview over switching to a full editor. Highlighting and outline rely on regex and bracket-depth parsing rather than a full compiler, so complex generics, macros, or metaprogramming may yield missed or extra tokens. The preview is read-only; disable the plugin in better-sidebar settings to fall back to the built-in editor when editing is needed.
