Perfect! Also, could you make the hover-preview be like Jetbrains' Code Lens? Or even, a full-page preview on hovering over the minimap, essentially, a regular jump-scroll, with the nuance that unhovering takes you back to where to initially were.

Спасибо! Искал как раз такое, чтобы само отображалось при необходимости. Попробовал разные другие приложения, они то не работали, то были не такими удобными. Очень рад, что нашел это, спасибо разработчику!
