Question: How to synchronize project pane with the current file in editor

Latest version (2018.1.4) has this option. Project pane-> Settings-> "Auto Scroll to Source" or Auto Scroll from Source" . Thanks Jet Brains for adding it.

Aha, it is the short cut everybody needs:-) I was looking for it myself
a while ago. Try Alt-F1 and select project in the pop up.

hi,

I'm looking for a way to get the project pane scroll to the dir where
the currrent file is in. There is a "Autoscroll to Source" button in
the project pane. I'm expecting something like "Autoscroll to Dir" or
a shortcut.

Is it a planned feature or already implemented?

Please let me know.

Thanks, Cao

Alt-F1, select Project then press the Left arrow key.

This is probably the most frequently asked question, over time, about IDEA.

This feature needs to be made more obvious and discoverable. The only way I
found it was asking on here, like so many before me and so many since...

I agree. Maybe they can put a button in the project pane? Like to the right of the "Show structure" button. At least that way people will wonder what it is and try it, hopefully.

True. It needs to be just like the scroll-to-source. Have it work both
ways. Don't force people to remember keystrokes when there is an automatic
way.

they renamed it (again) - select opened file , alt+f1 ,  key mapping does not work on Linux , since it is a system shortcut , you have to change the binding 

@Alex what behaviour are you trying to get? Alt+F1 - is a default shortcut for the Navigate | Select In... action. You can check the shortcut and update it (if needed) in Keymap settings:

Andrey Dernov Is there a way to make this happen automatically each time I select a new editor tab (without having to press Alt+F1)? Thanks.

Perfect!!! Thanks, Serge Baranov
