Feature Request: Walk up Exception Catch Tree

Marc Stock wrote:

I would like to see a feature implemented that would allow me to select a piece of code that is throwing an exception and have IntelliJ navigate me up the tree to where that exception gets caught. If this always happened at the caller level, I wouldn't care but sometimes exceptions can get passed up a ways before something is done about them and this would make it a lot easier to see what kind of error processing is being done for a given exception. When I do code reviews, this is one of the procedures I have to go through and it's a royal pain in the ass because there's no easy way to do it.

I'd be interested to hear other people's ideas about how this might be intersted as well. Oh, and if this feature already exists but has somehow eluded me, please clue me in. Thanks.

Indeed, I have the same issue here for the same reason, but sometimes
also because I want to just evaluate and cleanup exception handling, and
IDEA can sure help me to that better.

Create a feature request and I'll vote for it! I'd like that feature aswell. (I wouldn't be surprised to find out that such a feature already exists though).

It was actually already implemented (Alt+F7 with caret on throw keyword)
but seem to be broken in latest build.
