Locate file in the Navigation Panel
One of the biggest missing features in the WebStorm... is to be able to automatically locate and select a file in the Navigation Panel from the currently open file.
For example, this feature existed for many years in MS-Visual Studio that we used.
In there you typically run a search for some file content, then you click on something found, which opens the file. Then you decide you want to see the rest of the file structure, so you either hit a hot key or from a the current file's context menu you can select Select In Navigator, which automatically finds the file in the Navigation Panel, expands branches as necessary and selects the file.
This is an important productivity feature that of this day is regretfully still missing in WebStorm.

there is a 'Scroll from source' button in the Project view toolbar
it selects the currently opened file in the Project tree. Also, you can assign a preferred shortcut to 'Select in Project View' action in Settings | Keymap | Other.
If you need to enable auto-scrolling from source for all files, open Project View options dropdown and choose the 'Autoscroll from source' - when it's enabled, current file is auto-selected in the Project view on opening.
Oh blimey, could not find it previously! Thank you so much for telling me!
Feel free to close the issue!
