Is there any short-cut or device in Visual Studio to let me quickly get focus on the file I am editing?
I often meet the scenario: after I edit a specific c# file for a while, I suddenly want to search for other files in the same directory hierarchy.

In VS Code (Visual Studio Code), you can quickly and conveniently jump between the code editor and the integrated terminal by using the following shortcuts: Mac: To focus the terminal: Ctrl + ` (the key near the ESC key) To focus the editor: Ctrl + 1.
Use Ctrl + D to use multi word edit of same words in Windows and Linux.
If you have focus on e.g. the solution explorer you can focus on the current source code file by pressing
CTRL+TAB

Pressing F7 will set the focus on the code editor, or customize it yourself by overwriting View.ViewCode.
You can download a cheat sheet with all the shortcuts from MSDN (mostly for English keyboard layouts):
- Visual C# 2008 Keybinding Reference Poster
- Visual Basic 2008 Keybinding Reference Poster
- Visual C++ 2008 Keybinding Reference Poster
Or you can create your own cheat sheet (including all your customizations) using a macro:
