shortcut in Android Studio to locate the current editing src file
Android StudioShortcutAndroid Studio Problem Overview
Do you know how to check the location of current editing file in the project tree panel (the very left panel of the Android Studio), except manually. (The worst case is that all the folders there are collapsed)
The Navigate->Class shortcut can show me the src file in edit panel (central panel) quickly. Then I want to know the src file's logic location in project tree (left panel), so that I can add some new files in the same package quickly. (e.g. right-click the package and add new Class).
Currently, I have to expand the project tree and find it folder by folder.
Actually, in Xcode there is such a shortcut named "Reveal in Project Navigate"
What a convenient way it is.
I wonder whether this is also supported in Android studio.
Thanks

For automatic scrolling, you can do following:
You need to ensure Autoscroll to Source

Whenever you change the file the Project tree will be highlighted according.
I have observed some slowness and lag if project size is big(several modules or huge code base) and you use short cut Ctrl + N to navigate to a class.
So the alternative would be to either to click following icon:
OR
Use keyboard shortcut:
Alt + F1 + 1 or Alt + F1 + Enter

I'm new to android development. I used to code in Sublime Text 3. One of first thing I do to make android development feels more enjoyable is binding all shortcut I used in Sublime Text 3 to Android Studio. Now, it feels like home :)
