Question

I often use Ctrl+P to open files, but then I’d like to be able to have the file explorer expand its view so I can see where the file I opened is, and what other files are in the same directory.

Given I have a file open, is there a keyboard shortcut to navigate to that file in the file explorer?

Use the “Reveal in Side Bar” option in the context menu (mouse right click).

The command is reveal_in_side_bar and you can create a key binding (Preferences > Key Bindings – Users). An example:

{ "keys": ["alt+."], "command": "reveal_in_side_bar" }
