Sticky scroll for loops and if statements

[vancromy]

Hello,

I love the sticky scroll feature and it is very helpful for quickly figuring out where in the code I am currently editing. However, one thing I really miss when working with large codebases with very complex functions, is the ability to quickly figure out which if statement or for/while loop I am currently in. When dealing with nested if statements or loops, I find myself scrolling up and down alll the time. I use rainbow highlighting to try and help with visual cues but it would be much faster to just look up at the sticky scroll to quickly see whether I am inside an if statement or a loop. I understand the better thing to do here would be to refactor the code to be more modular and less complex but that is currently out of scope and I think perhaps other users could also benefit from this feature request.

Desired functionality:
When scrolling through a complex function with stick scroll enabled:

• Append any for/while loop statements and if statements (including the else block) to the stick scroll. This would make it so that you get a lineage from function signature down to current location in the code which would should the clear reasoning behind the current indentation of the code.
• This could be a feature that is by default off so as not to clutter the sticky scroll and that could also be controlled by the existing max n lines in sticky scroll to prevent too much of the working area from being eaten up by sticky scroll

I tried scouring the issues libaray for this request but couldn't find anything similar so hopefully this is not a dupe :)

Thanks for all the hard work you guys do!

Nvm I was too quick on this one. I found out that it is already implemented and is called the indentationModel under the Editor > Sticky Scroll: Default Model setting
