As of now the <alt>+<q> kombination gives you the next not visible scope level for the current caret position.
A while ago Idea showed the current scope context to the left. I guess this was removed by performance issues and people did not have any use for it all the time. I had thought that perhaps the <alt>+<q> combination could work somewhat like the incremental selection (<ctrl>+<w>). Starting with showing the closest scope working outwards for each time you hit <alt>+<q>. The scope could be marked by scope line indicator at the left bar as usual and as soon as your scope head comes out of visible range the common extra label at the top could be used to show the scope head (not just class and method head as today but also for all the other statements that introduces a new scope such as "if", "for", "while", "try" etc). /Christian PS. While the scope highlighter is a temporary function (the result is "discarded" as soon as you move the caret), the code of the scope could also be highlighted in another background color (such as very light blue for example). I believe that it would be easier to get an overview of the content of the current scope in that way rather than check the scope lines at the left bar and follow the line to indented code at level 8 (extremely exaggerated I know) to see the start and end of the scope.
