IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3 Help

Breadcrumbs

Use this page to configure editor breadcrumbs for the supported languages.

Breadcrumbs display the path from the code element where your caret is placed to the root element of the file. They help you track your location within a file's hierarchy.

Each part of the breadcrumb is clickable, allowing easy navigation to parent code elements. You can also use tooltips for additional information, which appear when you hover over a breadcrumb section.
