Description

Summary

A potentially useful feature to support would be Sublime Text-style minimap scrolling in the input and output. This should be very efficient so that it does not negatively impact the UI responsiveness. It should also be possible to disable it.

Research direction
The issue requests a minimap scroll feature similar to Sublime Text. Investigate the current input/output textareas or editors in CyberChef (likely the main UI files). Look into using a canvas overlay for efficient rendering of the minimap, syncing scroll positions. Check if there are any existing PRs or discussions (none visible). Consider performance implications and add a toggle to disable. Reference common minimap implementations in code editors for inspiration.
