Description

I think it would be an improvement if the minimap also displayed at least tacked arrows, so that one could quickly jump roughly to use sites rather than having to scroll. I could imagine wanting all the arrows to show also in the minimap, but I could also imagine that being annoying. However, at least the tacked ones could be useful.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the minimap and arrow-rendering entry points in DrRacket, then clarify whether tacked arrows alone or all arrows are in scope. Done means the selected arrows are visible in the minimap and users can jump roughly to their use sites.
