* Description
This layer uses [[https://github.com/bmag/imenu-list][imenu-list]] to show the current buffer's index in a side bar.

This is similar to `SPC j i` but displayed in a persistent sidebar instead of
a completion buffer.

** Features:
- IDE like outline view of current buffer showing all significant symbols in one view
