Many times we need to open (or at least know) the folder where the currently open file exist. For this we just right click on the tab and click 'Open Containing Folder'. For me, it was tedious to do this, and therefore I found a trick: Assign a shortcut to it.
To assign a shortcut:
- Click Tools -> Customize...
- In the dialog box shown, click Keyboard...
- In new dialog box, under Show commands containing, type
File.OpenContainingFolder - Now, under Press shortcut keys editbox, press the keystroke of your choice. I chose Ctrl + ` (key above Tab, below Escape)
- Now hit Assign. Then OK, then Close.
And you are done! Just press the assigned shortcut key, and Windows Explorer would open where the currently opened file exists! The file will have
selection in Windows Explorer. :thumbsup:
