dsh-minimap

Opening a several-hundred-line file in the dsh web GUI's Files sidebar and hunting for a specific function usually means dragging the scrollbar back and forth, scanning dense lines by trial and error. dsh-minimap brings the familiar VS Code-style minimap to the right edge of your sidebar editor, compressing the entire document into a slim text thumbnail you can scan at a glance.

Three ways to navigate: click anywhere on the minimap to jump and center the viewport, drag the translucent viewport box to scroll the editor along (mouse or touch), or hover the minimap and use the wheel or trackpad for fine adjustments. Syntax coloring is progressive, so lines pick up the editor's real highlight colors once scrolled into view and adapt to dark or light themes automatically. The plugin is a pure overlay: the sidebar is never modified, each tab gets its own independent instance, and closing a tab or uninstalling removes every trace. Width adapts to the sidebar (about 22% of editor width, clamped to 56-110 px) with a reserved gap so long lines are never covered.

Built for developers who regularly read longer code or config files through dsh-better-sidebar in the dsh web GUI and expect the VS Code minimap workflow. It applies only to the CodeMirror 6 text viewer; image, PDF, and Markdown previews do not receive a minimap.
