Navigate long Markdown docs without leaving preview — a floating table of contents that tracks where you are, jumps on click, and stays out of your editor's way. Free to use.
Quick start
Open a Markdown file.
Open the built-in preview (Ctrl+Shift+V / Cmd+Shift+V).
The TOC panel appears automatically — click any heading to jump.
Why Smart TOC
Floating panel — overlays the preview; no sidebar slot required
Live scroll tracking — current section stays highlighted as you read
Drag, resize, dock — place the panel where it works for you; position is remembered
Collapse to a pill — one click hides the panel; click the edge pill to bring it back
Copy outline — export headings as plain text, Markdown, HTML, or JSON
Light & dark — follows your VS Code theme
