Symbols Navigator package

Symbols navigator for Atom.io, using new universal-ctgas for parsing and adding public/protected/private visibility icons.

This package is fork from symbols-tree-view and symbols-tree-nav, but rewritten in Javascript and removed some functions.

=> tag-generator.js comes from tag-generator.coffee in symbols-view. and symbols-icon comes from symbols-tree-view.

Press ctrl + alt + o to open/close the Symbols Navigator.

Install with apm install symbols-navigator or use Install Packages from Atom Settings.

Universal-ctags Version

Please find it in version.txt.

TODO

I'm a PHP developer, and have made the switch from Netbeans to Atom. I'm trying to make the behavior of this Symbols Navigator as close as possible. I'll list some good features for improvement.

Any suggestions, forks and commits are highly appreciated!

• Fix the problem of tag geneator. Example code in JavaScript:

class A {
  AB() {
    function ABC() {}
  }
}
clas B {
  AB() {
    function ABC() {}
  }
}

This problem seems to be due to the default setting in Universal-Ctags(https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/blob/master/parsers/jscript.c#L346), not easy to fix in symbols-navigator.
