   i'm editing a C file in emacs. what's the most convenient way to get a split pane with a list (index) of all the functions in a file, and selecting those would jump to that function in the main buffer?

     @mntmn I think people make custom imenu configuration for that. Never did it myself though

     semantic-speedbar-analysis is pretty cool but it shows only the current function and its locals etc, now just missing an overview of all functions in the file

     @jccpalmer emacs is my main editor and i've written lots of software (and thousands of emails) with it... i guess different people have different needs

     @mntmn Sounds like my worst nightmare. I like Emacs, but maybe I’m just not advanced enough for what you’re doing haha

     @mntmn there are a few options but if you are using a distribution like Doom Emacs I believe you should have this out of the box: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-ui#lsp-ui-imenu

     @poppis not running external tools manually and stuff (ctags?!), ideally something that would automatically analyze the file

     @mntmn also, I don't know what is your definition of convenient

     OK, it mostly works now with lsp-treemacs, installation was inconvenient though

     the issue was that i had debian elpa-... packages installed and mixed with stuff in .emacs.d/elpa, cleaned that up now and now everything is mega smooth. wrote a quick compile_flags.txt for my project and here we goooo

     @mntmn treesitter mode for C/C++ is probably worth a try.

     Doesn't use a separate process but you need to download and build an .so and put it where emacs can find it (can be done interactively when on a GNU/linux or unix-based OS)

     My experience with installing treesitter modes here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2024-06/msg00054.html
