The Navigator view for XML need to have the same behaviour as Java files have, which is automatic focus when opened by keyboard shortcut.
To reproduce it: 1. Open a XML file (I tested with persistence.xml and pom.xml) 2. Go anywhere in the code and hit Ctrl + 7 You will see that the Navigator is opened but we do not have focus on the nodes. It is necessary to have this behaviour even if the Navigator view is minimized.
Report from old NetBeans version. Due to code changes since it was reported likely not reproducible now. Feel free to reopen if happens in 8.0.2 or 8.1.
It is still valid. v. NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20150915-cf4f4fc676df)
