Bug ID: 386345
Summary: There is no simple way how to focus/highlight/select
currently edited file in the "Projects" toolview
Product: kdevelop
Version: 5.1.2
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: UI: general

Target Milestone: ---
This is feature request, not a bug. I did not find suitable place for feature
request.
Feature request:
"Focus/highlight/select currently edited file in the project view."
Current state:
There is no simple way how to focus/highlight/select currently* edited file in
the "Projects" toolview"(*or any file opened in the editor tab).
Business requirement:
The user shall be able to quickly find currently opened or edited file in the
"Projects" toolview in order to get context of the file. The immediate action
"Select in projects view" should be accessible:
- from editor context menu,
- from editor tab context menu,
- have the possibility to bind to user defined "shortcut".
User story:
- Bob opens large project
- Bob will start build of the project
- There are multiple errors in CMakeList.txt files, which Bob opens by clicking
on the error messages showed in the "Build" toolview.
- Bob finds that there are so many CMakeList.txt files opened in the editor
- Bob wants to identify context of actually opened file
- Bob press "Ctrl+Alt+P" and get the current file highlighted/selected in the
"Projects" toolview.
Notes:
The shortcut "Ctrl+Alt+P" is just example/placeholder for more appropriate
shortcut.
Instead using the shortcut, Bob may want to use particular context menu.
Alternatively if the file is not part of any project, the file may be
highlighted in the Filesystem toolview.
