notebook: Does notebook have the function of navigation in a sidebar ?

I usually use notebook to give reports on my experiments. My report is sometimes very long but well structured. The problem is that I have to use mouse wheel to switch between chapters, which is very time consuming.

Is there any way to make a navigation in a sidebar in which each chapter is corresponding to a Heading in a Markdown cell ? So I can skip to a chapter quickly.

Thanks @jkokorian for the useful snippet! Instead of running two cells, you can run the following code in a single cell, and that will give you a stationary TOC on the side of the page:

%%javascript
$('<div id="toc"></div>').css({position: 'fixed', top: '120px', left: 0}).appendTo(document.body);
$.getScript('https://kmahelona.github.io/ipython_notebook_goodies/ipython_notebook_toc.js');

If anyone is interested, I finally re-wrote the code for this sidebar navigation in a way that it is always present in Jupyter Notebook. This is a huge improvement over the snippet I wrote here a couple of years ago - the sidebar is resizable, items get added immediately when created and it fits better inside of the window. Please see: https://github.com/shoval/jupyter-navbar . I would appreciate your comments, bug reports, requests, etc.

@shoval Your navbar it’s really nice. Do you know if it’s possible to have it via conda and/or pip?
