Description

Feature request to implement breadcrumbs for liquid syntax, just like VSCode does natively for HTML, JS, etc... Would make editing and navigating theme files much simpler. Sometimes I'll change the editor language to HTML in VSCode just to have access to some breadcrumbs to ensure my HTML and liquid tags are nested properly.
