In some other editors (I've used in both Xcode and the JetBrains IDEs), when you are looking at a piece of code (maybe you arrived there by searching) if the function name/declaration isn't visible on the screen then the editor shows a banner at the top of the view that shows you the function you're in, and clicking that banner takes you to the that line. It can show both the class and method name if needed. If those things are already visible within the current view, nothing extra is shown.
Now maybe an idea like this fits into Helix's world, and maybe it doesn't. I would expect, though, that tree-sitter knows where you are and could tell you (of course, only when tree-sitter is available). Is there a way already to see where you are without scrolling and without changing the selection? Or do I have to enter view mode, scroll up, and then somehow or other get back? Or is there something even better than that?
I put this in Ideas because maybe banners is something to consider (and my status bar is already too crowded). What I care about, though, is not the specific user interface. I just want to know where I am.
