I am often working with very repetitive code that all looks quite
similar.  You can't tell just by looking at the code where you are.
Too much repetitive code might indicate that there's something wrong with your implementation. 

I expected "show in navigator" would do this for me, but it does not.
It is available some way. Several times I caught myself modifying code
in the wrong method.

Assuming that you are still referring to Eclipse, then "Link with editor" in both the 'Package Explorer' and the 'Outline' views might help.

If you have opened several (unrelated) projects, you can reduce there number by creating/selecting a Working Set in the Package Explorer.

A third option might be to create a seperate workspace for each set of (tightly related) projects.
