Show code in scroll bar in Intellij Idea

Question

Is it possible to start showing code in scroll bar in Intellij Idea? I mean when I see a minified version of my code in the scroll bar. I do not know how it is called. I remember it being called something like scroll map.

Answer 1

What you are looking for is called a Minimap. There is no default view for this, but you can install the plugin CodeGlance

To install the plugin, go to File -> Settings... in the left tree, select Plugins, then Browse Repositories. Now search for CodeGlance, install and restart IntelliJ

Answer 2

Sounds like you're looking for the IntelliJ CodeGlance plugin:
