Is there a way in Intellij IDEA to see the name of the method the current line belongs to?

You can use View | Context Info (Alt+Q, Ctrl+Shift+Q on Macs). It will display a pop-up on the top of the editor with the current context information (class/method signature).


IntelliJ 2018

This is shown by default at the bottom.

Unfortunately, the method is shown only by name (not including the parameters). If a method is overloaded you won't know for sure where you are.

Method breadcrumbs below code area

If you want to move it from bottom to top, go to File > Settings... > Editor > General > Breadcrumbs > check Top:

Editor > Breadcrumbs > Show breadcrumbs


In the structure panel select the "Autoscroll from source" option. This way when you place the cursor inside any method the structure panel will show which method you're in.
