Navigate Headings

See and jump between all your file headings directly in the explorer. No more switching tabs to check your document structure.

Why Use It

Navigate documents without leaving the file explorer
Jump to any section with one click
See your current position as you scroll
Works with your existing Obsidian setup

## How to Use - **Click a file title** — expands its headings automatically, down to the level set in *Auto-expand down to*. If that setting is *Nothing*, clicking the title just opens the file with no expansion. - **Click the arrow** next to a file — always toggles the headings panel regardless of the auto-expand setting. Expands either all levels or just the top level depending on the *Arrow expands* setting. - **Click a heading** — jumps to that section in the editor. If the heading has children, it also toggles them open/closed. ## Settings | Setting | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | **Show headings up to** | H3 | The maximum heading depth shown in the explorer. Headings deeper than this are never displayed. | | **Auto-expand down to** | H2 | How deep the panel opens when you click a file title or switch to a file. *Nothing* disables automatic expansion entirely — only the arrow will open the panel. | | **Arrow expands** | All levels | Controls what happens when you click the arrow next to a file. *All levels* opens every heading at once. *Next level only* shows just the top-level headings and lets you expand deeper sections manually. | | **Highlight active heading** | On | Highlights the heading in the explorer that matches your current scroll position in the editor. | ## Installation 1.
