Getting Started

Zero-config sidebar navigation for the Kirby Panel – jump between fields and blocks in complex blueprints with a single click.

Kirby Minimap is a free plugin for Kirby CMS. Install it, and a structured sidebar appears next to the site view and every page view – no license activation, no setup.

Step 1: Install the Plugin

Composer

The recommended way to install the plugin:

composer require johannschopplich/kirby-minimap

ZIP File Download

Download the or head over to the releases page to see all versions. Extract the ZIP file to your site/plugins folder.

Step 2: Start Using the Minimap

Open the site view or any page – the minimap appears on the right side of the Panel.

Navigation States

The minimap has two states. Hover the minimap and click the arrow button that appears near the top of its inner edge to switch between them:

  1. Collapsed State
    Displays a minimal vertical indicator with positional markers for each field, maintaining an unobtrusive presence.
  2. Expanded State
    Reveals the complete navigation interface, showing field names and block details.

Scroll Position

Navigation runs both ways. Every field and block currently in the viewport is marked active in the minimap, so scrolling the form moves the highlight along with it – in the collapsed state too, where the markers are the only cue to where you are in a long blueprint.

Tab Awareness

The minimap is tab-aware: when your blueprint uses tabs, the minimap displays only the fields from the currently active tab. Switching tabs automatically updates the minimap to reflect the new content structure.
