I’m a pretty experienced Eclipse user, and just moved to IntelliJ Idea (or at least, trying to).
In Eclipse I’m used to "Link with Editor" feature of Projects view. I’ve just found out that the similar feature in Idea is called "Autoscroll from source" (a bit vague, but OK). It highlights the currently opened file in the "Project" view.
Our project consists of approximately 30 Maven modules, so I’d like to find out, whether there is the same option for "Maven Projects" view. I checked the Maven options, but couldn’t find anything like that.
EDIT
to see what I mean, take a look at this screenshot:

Project view is successfully synchronized, when I edit pom.xml of ws-consumer project, but the selection in Maven Projects still highlights the pom.xml of previous project.
I believe there’s no such feature. You can create a new Enhancement Request here.
You can jump to the relevant project manually using
Select Targetfeature – Alt F1 and thenMaven Projects.
