Feature Request: Option to find file in navigator when right click on editor [message #263057]

Hi,
In Eclipse version 2.0.2, when you select a specific file in the editor,
it
automatically selects the corresponding file in the navigator, I noticed
that
this behaviour was removed for later versions.

I agree that this can become annoying if it happens all the time, but
sometimes you want to be able to automatically find a specific file in the
navigator (probably one that you are working on in the editor).
This would be useful especially when working on large numbers of files
and / or very deep package hierarchies.

So I thought it would be nice to have the option in the drop-down menu
(when right clicking on a specific editor for a file) to find and select
the
corresponding file in the navigator.

Anyone have any comments on this?

Thanks
Adrian Wilford

Just update to Eclipse 3.0.

The Navigator view has a toggling view toolbar button "Link to Editor".
Double-click it to select the editor input in the view.

Alternaltively, use Menu "Navigate > Show In > Navigator" (Alt+Shift+W, N)
from within the active editor.
