Minimap
The Minimap feature adds a compact overview of your entire script in the Text Editor sidebar, similar to the minimap in VS Code. It allows you to quickly scroll, navigate large files, and get a bird’s-eye view of your code structure.
It also supports a Hover Preview: when hovering over the minimap, a popup displays the code snippet from that line.
Key Features
Displays a scaled-down preview of your script alongside the editor.
Hover Preview: Hover over a section to preview code from that line in a floating box.
Quickly navigate large files by clicking or dragging inside the minimap.
Fully customizable appearance (width, colors, line height, etc.).
Performance options for huge files.
Usage
In the Text Editor, open the Textify popover.

Scroll through your file by dragging inside the minimap or clicking on specific areas.
