Is there something like a minimap (bird’s eye view of the doc) for Codemirror 6 or are there plans for it? 🙂
It would be very useful for working with large documents.
I found this package but it’s for v5: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/codemirror-minimap](https://www.npmjs.com/package/codemirror-minimap)

I have no plans for implementing this, but it’d be great if someone were to provide this as a 3rd party package.

I think it is a very bad idea to clone a library, modify it, and squash away the entire commit history.

Oh wow no, forking a project, adding some LLM slop changes, and then not crediting the original author, not even leaving their commits in the history, is really not cool.
