How do I quickly find the current file in Projects/Files/Favorites view?

Use right-click popup Select In | Projects or Files or Favorites in 5.0+ or Window | Select Document In... in 4.1

Say you're editing a file in editor and you need to quickly find the respective node in the Projects, Files or Favorites view. Obviously, you can select the view and start expanding packages or folders and try to locate an object that may be nested several levels deep. This can be very annoying.

Fortunately, there is a quicker way. Just go to popup Select In (resp.Window | Select Document in fo 4.1) and select the view (Projects, Files, Favorites) you want to locate the file in. Or, even quicker, press Ctrl-Shift-1 (for Projects),Ctrl-Shift-2 (for Files),Ctrl-Shift-3 (for Favorites).
