Description

Implement textDocument/documentSymbol to power the outline/breadcrumb view in editors.

The existing parser already identifies function declarations and uniform declarations, so a basic implementation could list those as symbols with minimal effort. This would immediately make navigation of .gdshader files much easier in editors that support it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing parser logic for function and uniform declarations and implement the textDocument/documentSymbol handler.
