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 1:

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":

"explorer.autoReveal": false

Solution 2:

To show the active file in the Windows-Explorer or sidebar:

• right-click on the file tab and choose 'reveal in explorer'/'reveal in side bar'

The keyboard shortcut for reveal in windows explorer is is ctrl K R

To show the file in the sidebar you can assign a custom code in the keybindings window:
