Vscode: Shortcut to Reveal file in sidebar

[obrejla]

Hi,

• VSCode Version: 1.10.1
• OS Version: macOS Sierra

I'm not able to set a keyboard shortcut to reveal a file in a sidebar. It is possible only for Reveal file in a Finder.

How can I achieve that? I don't want to have "auto reveal" option set to true, but writing "cmd+shift+p reve Down Down Enter" is a bit lengthy.

Maybe making this action public could help? "_workbench.action.files.revealInExplorer" :) Not sure ;)

Thanks for your suggestions.

Well, from code base I incidentally found out that the action could be invoked also from editor tab context menu :+1: But having a shortcut could be also great ;) Thanks.

You can assign your own keyboard shortcut to the command workbench.files.action.showActiveFileInExplorer to achieve this

Example:
``
{
"key": "ctrl+q",
"command": "workbench.files.action.showActiveFileInExplorer",
"when": "editorTextFocus"
}
```

Aaaaha. Didn't find that command. Thanks for your response.
