Implement a Sidebar for Variable/Item Occurrences

[Programmer-RD-AI]

It would be extremely helpful to have a feature that allows users to find all occurrences of a specific variable, function, or keyword and display them in a sidebar or popup. This functionality would significantly enhance code navigation and analysis.

Feature Details:

• Purpose: Quickly locate all references to a selected variable, function, or keyword within the current file or project.
• Keybinding Suggestion: Assign a keybinding like <leader>vs (for "variable search") to activate this feature.
• Sidebar Display: Open a sidebar or floating window listing all occurrences with their context and line numbers.

Expected Features:

1. Search Scope Options:

   • Current file.
   • Entire project.

2. Clickable Results:

   • Clicking on an occurrence in the sidebar should jump directly to its location in the file.

3. Real-Time Updates:

   • Automatically update the sidebar if changes are made to the file or project.

4. Language-Aware Search:

   • Use nvim-treesitter or LSP for precise and language-aware searching of variables or functions.

Benefits:

• Greatly improves navigation for debugging or refactoring.
• Helps track and manage variable/function usage in large codebases.
• Reduces manual effort in finding references or related items.

Implementation Ideas:

• Leverage existing plugins like telescope.nvim or trouble.nvim for display and navigation.
• Use nvim-treesitter or LSP to gather occurrences accurately.

This feature would be an excellent addition to the configuration, making it more powerful and user-friendly. Looking forward to seeing this implemented! 🚀
