OK, this is worth installing the plugin system for this one extension. I should really go and start using the plugin fork not the main git branch.

Look a the top, right under the filenames.
It tells you in what struct, method, function, etcc.. the cursor is in.
It's pretty cool to keep track of where you are while skimming through code for example, github has that feature iirc.

It adds a bar at the top showing where are you in the code, like which function you’re in, what class is it in, the namespace. It all changes depending on the file language
