    Please don't deprecate it. I used it a lot when my files are big and I want to find a function without having to scroll down the entire file

    Also, where is this Outline you mention in #6018 "...there's a built-in Outline for classes/members,..."

    @victormutuku the built-in outline appears under the explorer window here:

    If you don't see it, right-click on the Explorer heading at the top and tick it:

    The built-in outline should be easier for this (since it contains less items), though you can also use Ctrl+Shift+O to trigger the "Go to Symbol in Editor" picker where you can type to filter all symbols in the file:

    Okay, seen it. That's the one I use. I thought you were deprecating that 😅

    Ah, no. This refers to the one on the Flutter sidebar, which is similar, but also has nodes for widget constructor calls:

    Aah, okay. That makes sense.
