Thanks for keeping focused on the original issue. In that spirit I am surprised that no one has mentioned the emacs speedbar. I am not using it and therefore I didn't mention it but perhaps that would be the right mental model for the OP? https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Speedbar.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/speedbar/index.html http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SpeedBar http://cedet.sourceforge.net/speedbar.shtml Some screenshots: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SrSpeedbar And that is all I know about it since I am not using it.
