IntelliJ style item tracking in Visual Studio

without comments

One of my favourite features of IntelliJ is that it tracks the item that you currently have open on your Solution Explorer.

I thought this wasn't possible in Visual Studio and had resigned myself to trying to remember which project each file was in. Luckily for me a colleague pointed out that it is in fact possible but is just turned off by default.

Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Check 'Track Active Item in Solution Explorer'
