Is there a keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio (aside from CTRL+TAB and selection) that would take me from inside a document directly into the solution explorer? I don't want to customize any shortcuts or change any default behavior.
CTRL+ALT+L
should shift focus to the Solution Explorer.
For visual studio 2012 use:
CTRL+[ + S this selects your current document in the solution explorer.
When using VS 2012 with the Visual C# 2005 keyboard mapping scheme:
CTRL+W, S
I find this easier to memorize: All shortcuts beginning with CTRL+W are for opening or navigating to W indows:
- CTRL+W, S: S olution Explorer
- CTRL+W, E: E rror list
- CTRL+W, R: R esourceview
- CTRL+W, A: Command window (A ction ...)
- CTRL+W, T: T askview
- CTRL+W, Q: Find Symbol Results
- CTRL+W, X: Toolbo x
- CTRL+W, C: C lassview
- CTRL+W, P: P roperties
- CTRL+W, B: B ookmarks
- ...
In Visual Studio 2012 you can now use CTRL+; as this is the default keyboard shortcut for the solution explorer search box.
On my windows 7 machine : Ctrl+ALT+L locks the computer.
For me : Shift+ALT+L works. (This could also be a resharper configuration)
The default keyboard shortcut for opening/jumping to Solution Explorer is Ctrl + Alt + L.
- shortcut ctrl [, S will focus current open file/document in solution explorer.
- setting checkbox to true in "Track active in Solution Explorer" will automatically focus current open file/document in solution explorer (Tools->Options->Projects and solutions->General->"Track Active Item in Solution Explorer"=true
Extended above : command name for sync tab with solution explorer is "SolutionExplorer.SyncWithActiveDocument"
Visual Studio
2015 and 2017 (by default) VS 2017 Shortcuts
Ctrl + [, S
Runs Keyboard Shortcut
SolutionExplorer.SyncWithActiveDocument
ReSharper
In Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 (by default) Resharper Docs
Shift + Alt + L
Which runs Resharper's Keyboard Shortcut
Resharper.Resharper_LocateInSolutionOrAssemblyExplorer
Both
- Focus Solution Explorer
- Highlight document
- Scroll / expand nodes (as required to show that document)
Difference
Resharper's version also works with decompiled code. Locating decompiled symbols in the Assembly Explorer window.
To customise / it doesn't work :
- Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard
- Search shortcut name (e.g. SolutionExplorer.SyncWithActiveDocument)
- Assign (in Global) to Keyboard shortcuts as you like
I had this problem on a new machine build with VS 2013 and R# 8.2.
Keyboard option Resharper.Resharper_LocateInSolutionExplorer was correctly set to Shift+Alt+L, but it seemed to be only opening a parent folder and not selecting the actual file. As recommended in another post I enabled "Track active in Solution Explorer" in the VS Options.
This didn't fix the problem and wasn't what I want because in very large solutions I don't want the solution explorer jumping around to the current file in use. I disabled the Track feature and restarted VS, the LocateInSolutionExplorer feature then started working correctly. Some sort of shortcut precedence issue?
ctrl + [ + S.
This shortcut will highlight the currently opened document in solution explorer.
For AZERTY keyboards like mine, the default shortcut is Ctrl+), Ctrl+S
We just upgraded from VS2013 to VS2017, and I had to go looking for how to auto-select the active tab in the Solution Explorer. I often have to look for a document by finding a text-string from a screen, and love to have it select the document so I can see where it is.
Tracking the active document has been default behavior for a long time. VS2017 brought over ALL my other preferences, but not this one. Glad I found this thread--Thank you.
