Hello, does anybody know if there's been talk about a minimap feature for datatables? I'd love to be able to have a glance at the full listing on the side of my currently-scrolled objects. Thank you.

    There hasn't been, and I'm not sure how useful it would be to be honest. In VS Code or any other editor that supports a minimap you can sort of see the general structure of the data - blocks of colours, outlines and so on. In DataTables and tabular data in general, the data is far more repetitive, and would probably just all look the same.

    Happy to be wrong - I do like minimap in my editor, but I don't think it would be so useful in this context.

    Ah, I can see how that makes sense! I'm color-coding some rows in my table to denote their subjects, so it's a biit more useful in this case, but totally not without. Much thanks for the quick reply.
