Viewing Current Caret Location

If in course of editing, searching, or navigating through a file, the cursor position runs out of the visible editor area, above the upper editor edge, you don't need to scroll through the file to obtain instant information about the current caret location.

To view the current caret position, do one of the following

  • On the main menu, choose View | Context Info
  • Press Alt+Q.

The pop-up frame appears on top of the editor, showing the name of the class or method where the caret currently resides:
