<p>The symbols tree view is allowing to navigate through all symbols parsed by CTags. However, when editing a symbol in the editor panel, the highlighted symbol won't synchronize in the tree view. As discussed in issue <a href="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1325" class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-url="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1325" data-id="191895876" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-permission-text="Issue title is private">#1325</a>, an option is to resolve the symbol from the current cursor position.</p>
<p>My implementation of the feature is doing this in two steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Check if a direct match can be made between the cursor line and one of the TMTag inside the tree</li>
<li>If no direct match but in a scope, resolve by selecting this scope</li>
</ol>
<p>If both steps fail, the selection is cleared.</p>
<p>One thing that I am not sure yet how to implement is the auto-adjustment of the scrollbar to reach the symbol if it's out of visible range. Maybe someone has an idea how to do that in a clean fashion? Should the automatic scroll be an option or default behavior?</p>
