Description
Currently, the CMD+6 shortcut to enable the Spring Symbols overlay only works if an editor is selected. It would be nice if that also worked if an element from the Project / Package explorer was selected. The scope of the overlay could be initialized with the scope closest to the selection: if a project is selected, open Spring Symbols in the project scope (same for source folder or package). If a source file is selected, open in file scope.

Research direction
Start by locating the CMD+6 shortcut and the Spring Symbols overlay behavior, then inspect how selections from the Project or Package explorer provide their scope. The work is done when the shortcut works for projects, source folders, packages, and source files, opening each with its closest corresponding scope.
