How to reveal current file in Explorer?


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?


Solution

  • 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":

    // Set this in your settings.json file
    "explorer.autoReveal": false
