How to “Show in Explorer” / “Reveal in Finder” in PhpStorm?

Question

In PhpStorm, is there a way to show a file in Windows Explorer (for Windows) or Finder (for Mac) ?

Even better, is it possible to add such an option in the menu when I right click on a tab?

Do I need a plugin for that?

Answer 1

You can always use Navigate | Select in... | Show in Explorer Navigate | Select in... | Show in Explorer Navigate | Select in... | Show in Explorer ( Alt + F1, 8 using Default keymap) for that.

Same shortcut will work from other places (eg Project View panel etc).

If you still want to add context menu item .. then you can do that in Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behaviour | Menus & Toolbars --> Editor Tab Popup Menu Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behaviour | Menus & Toolbars --> Editor Tab Popup Menu Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behaviour | Menus & Toolbars --> Editor Tab Popup Menu . The actual action is called Show in Explorer

Answer 2

I don't find any plugins for do that. Perhaps because this is a simple function which can launch/call easily with a simple shortcut keyboard.

File > Settings > Keymap > 'explorer' > Other > Show in Explorer. Add shortcut for this function and you can open a new explorer OS in a same directory that your file is.

Perhaps if I don't understand "Open in Explorer" you can also easily point your view 'project' in a exact directory where is your file is.

For that I assign a shortcut in a function named 'Select In'. With this a menu appear and I can select lot of function and one for target project View directly where is my file active in editor (very useful).
