So, i was bumped off of my previous IDE of choice (Eclipse) by the abandonment of the language extension I used in it. Sadly the only viable option in the current environment is Visual Studio Code.

But there's so far one major quality of life feature I deeply miss from Eclipse--in its file explorer pane, not only could you expand folders, but you could expand source code files and get an symbol outline even if the file wasn't already open in the editor. It was extremely handy on a large project where i don't always remember exactly which class is in which file.

Now, Visual Studio code has an Explorer pane, and it has an Outline pane--but the latter only expands the currently open file's symbols. Anyone know of any extensions out there that will let me combine the two?

Last time I used msvs, I kept accidentally triggering the view you want and getting frustrated every time I had to figure out how to switch the panel back to a fine view yet again...

I know it's what you want, to, cause it liked similar to the project file explorer pane, but clicking or double-clicking a file just expanded a class/strict overview instead of opening the source file.

Still no clue how I was getting there, though.
