improving Help with breadcrumbs

$
0
0

IntelliJ has a rabbit warren of menus.  It can take quite a while to

find the spot where you get to specify something.

 

For example I wanted to insert -Xdiags:verbose. Where to specify it?

 

I try help and it tells me "the compiler options pane".  I could have

guessed that, but WHERE is the compile options pane?

 

It would be nice at the top of such help pages if it showed you the

breadcrumbs, the series of menus you take to get there.

 

Once you find them they are obvious. Unfortunately, until you do, the

menus are inscrutable.
