Alphabetical Scrollbar in jetpack compose

Does anyone know how to create an alphabetical fast scroller, displaying all the letters in Jetpack Compose?

Similar to this one: Recyclerview Alphabetical Scrollbar

I have made a list which is scrollable, but I have no clue in how to make the letters on the side and make it "jump" to the right letter.

here is my coding so far:

To display letters all you need is a Column with needed items. To scroll a lazy column to a needed item, you can use lazy column state.

Here's a basic example:

val items = remember { LoremIpsum().values.first().split(" ").sortedBy { it.lowercase() } }
val headers = remember { items.map { it.first().uppercase() }.toSet().toList() }
Row {
    val listState = rememberLazyListState()
    LazyColumn(
        state = listState,
        modifier = Modifier.weight(1f)
    ) {
        items(items) {
            Text(it)
        }
    }
    val offsets = remember { mutableStateMapOf<Int, Float>() }
    var selectedHeaderIndex by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
    val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()

    fun updateSelectedIndexIfNeeded(offset: Float) {
        val index = offsets
            .mapValues { abs(it.value - offset) }
            .entries
            .minByOrNull { it.value }
            ?.key ?: return
        if (selectedHeaderIndex == index) return
        selectedHeaderIndex = index
        val selectedItemIndex = items.indexOfFirst { it.first().uppercase() == headers[selectedHeaderIndex] }
        scope.launch {
            listState.scrollToItem(selectedItemIndex)
        }
    }

    Column(
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceEvenly,
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxHeight()
            .background(Color.Gray)
            .pointerInput(Unit) {
                detectTapGestures {
                    updateSelectedIndexIfNeeded(it.y)
                }
            }
            .pointerInput(Unit) {
                detectVerticalDragGestures { change, _ ->
                    updateSelectedIndexIfNeeded(change.position.y)
                }
            }
    ) {
        headers.forEachIndexed { i, header ->
            Text(
                header,
                modifier = Modifier.onGloballyPositioned {
                    offsets[i] = it.boundsInParent().center.y
                }
            )
        }
    }
}
