Description
Suggestion: sidebar - a core part of any IDE but is conspicuously missing from DrRacket.
- The (define ...) button which provides the overview functionality that is often in sidebars of other IDEs. I'd suggest that moving this to a sidebar is more familiar UI than the current popup
- filesystem view sidebar mode: There also is a plugin adds this to DrRACKET1: https://github.com/MatrixForChange/files-viewer
- package view sidebar mode- using
info.rkt(#lang info) files as the source - module browser is also relevant https://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/module-browser.html

Research direction
No repository file or test is named. Start by examining the current (define ...) popup, the linked files-viewer plugin, info.rkt package metadata, and the module browser documentation; done requires a decided sidebar scope covering the proposed views and an agreed implementation plan.
