 An detailed overview over Treemacs' available features is available in [[https://github.com/Alexander-Miller/treemacs#detailed-feature-list][its
 readme]]. In a short summary Treemacs offers the following:
 
- * Simple and powerful navigation and ability to detail exactly how and where a file should be opened
- * Good looking png icons.
- * Ability to show tags contained in files. Tags are provided by imenu, so nearly every filetype is supported.
- * Optionally fontifying files based on their git status.
- * Optionally collapsing single-dir-child directories into one.
- * Doing both asynchronously for an imperceptible performance cost.
- * Optional follow-mode to automatically focus the currently selected file.
- * Optional filewatch-mode to automatically refresh the view after (and only after) changes to the shown filesystem.
