In Eclipse the user can click on a "Link with editor" button, and the Package explorer will automatically expand the tree structure so that the open file is shown. A similar feature is also needed in Netbeans.
There already is a request like this on projects, I believe. Not related to the editor module as such, AFAIK.
This feature already exists. The shortcut CTL-SHIFT-1 will take you to the file, that's current in editor, in the projects tab. CTL-SHIFT-2 will take you to the file in the files tab. These actions also exist visibly under the Navigate menu.
I wasn't aware of these shortcuts. It truly helps with these shortcuts.
Oft-requested improvement. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 71319 ***
