When I have a file opened, I'd like to have a shortcut to navigate to this file inside the EXPLORER
, so that I can see where it is located.
How can I do this?
In Visual Studio's menu go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions. Then check "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer".
With ReSharper installed Shift + Alt + L will find the current file in Solution Explorer in Visual Studio 2008+. when you track you don't need this shortcut.
In the command palette (F1), there is a Files: Reveal Active File in Side Bar
command. You can assign a shortcut to it via the keyboard shortcuts editor:
Alternatively, you could try the Reveal extension which adds this button to editors:
It might make sense to disable auto-reveal when using this shortcut as a "manual reveal":
"explorer.autoReveal": false
To show the active file in the Windows-Explorer or sidebar:
The keyboard shortcut for reveal in windows explorer is is ctrl K R
To show the file in the sidebar you can assign a custom code in the keybindings window:
