How can I close the solution explorer panel with a key-board shortcut in Visual Studio 2010?

Question

I often need to jump from a file to another file that I don't have open to one somewhere in the project directory structure. I often use Ctrl-Alt-L to open the solution explorer panel, but then I'd like to close it after I open the file I'm after. Unfortunately Ctrl-Alt-L doesn't simply toggle the panel open/closed. Is there another way to accomplish this. Or how can I close the solution explorer panel with a key-board shortcut?

Answer 1

I believe you are looking for SHIFT+ESCAPE.

It will close any tool window currently in focus.
