In our code base there are a few very long methods (several pages worth of code). When reading the code, it would sometimes be good to be able to see the name of the method the current line belongs to, without paging up to the beginning of the method. Is this possible in Intellij IDEA? I am using Intellij IDEA 7.0.3.

In IntelliJ IDEA, you can see where and how symbols, such as tags, classes, fields, methods, or functions are defined in your project. For this purpose, the IDE features the Quick Definition popup. To view definition of a symbol, select it in the editor and press Ctrl+Shift+I (or click View | Quick Definition).
From the main menu, select Navigate | Method Hierarchy or press Ctrl+Shift+H .
To navigate backwards, press Ctrl+Alt+Left . To navigate forward, press Ctrl+Alt+Right . To navigate to the last edited location, press Ctrl+Shift+Backspace . To find the current caret location in the editor, press Ctrl+M .
View Javadocs in the editorHover the mouse over the necessary symbol in the editor. Place the caret at the symbol and press Ctrl+Q (View | Quick Documentation). Press Ctrl+Q again to open this documentation in the Documentation tool window.
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).

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