popup buffer showing buffers headings?

Is it possible to have a buffer showing the headers of a file in a
buffer in a popup window to the left of the main window in org-mode
please?

We already have 'neotree' but that just shows the files in a directory.
What I'm looking for is something like 'Imenu' but in a popup buffer,
which is activated in something like 'M-F8' and displays, and then when
'M-F8' is used again it closes the popup. From the popup you can move
about the headings in your file with ease just using the keyboard, and
without having to use a mouse.

Ideally, this could be used for any buffer that is being used, whether
its latex, mediawiki, or whatever, although possibly not for gnus.

So can it be done please?

Thanks
Sharon.

Maybe `org-goto' (C-c C-j) is what is you are looking for.

Yes, there is a package that does that. Check out imenu-list.

Yup, exactly that.

M-x imenu-list does that by default. You can bind a key of your choice to
that.

Yes, this package is generic, for imenu.


That said, for the purpose of jumping to headings, I like the newly added
counsel-org-goto command added to the counsel package.
