Breadcrumbs
Use this page to configure editor breadcrumbs for the supported languages.
Breadcrumbs display the path from the code element where your caret is placed to the root element of the file. They help you track your location within a file structure.
Each part of the breadcrumb is clickable, allowing for easy navigation to parent code elements. For additional information, you can also use tooltips which appear on hover over a breadcrumb section.

Breadcrumbs vs. the navigation bar
Breadcrumbs are similar to the navigation bar, which also helps you navigate your code.
The difference is that breadcrumbs let you navigate the structure of the current file, while the navigation bar allows you to explore the structure of the project and access context menus for items, just like in the Project tool window.
