Visual Studio 2013: how to show active file in solution explorer?

Question

During debug I can navigate far away from first file. It's usually useful to open solution explorer tree and check current opened file siblings. Is there shortcut to open current file in solution explorer?

Answer 1

you can try this, imho sometimes it is buggy but it works most of the time

go to Tools, then option. Click Project and Solution. now tick the checkbox named "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer"

now when you are navigate to a file, the tree will follow.

Answer 2

The feature is called Sync with Active Document. I don't have the IDE installed on the machine but I believe the shortcut is Ctrl+[, S
