Is there an "Always On" mode?

Essentially, as soon as I enter a JSON file, whenever I scroll, the key-chain should update to where my cursor currently is. I have seen this feature in Android Studio. image

Hey @ayushxx7 👋

This plugin is currently synchronous and such a feature would therefore require either:

  1. Convert the parsing into an asynchronous operation to avoid blocking the UI
  2. Managing an internal abstract syntax tree (AST) for the JSON (would enable auto completion as well - #4)

I have no experience with neither in vim and the current plugin scope is sufficient for my uses, so unfortunately I won't be doing neither in the nearby future. I'd happily assist anybody who'd be willing to try implementing this though!
