IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.0 Web Help

8.0+

It may be helpful to open a file in a file manager (for example, in the Windows Explorer, if Windows is your OS). IntelliJ IDEA allows you to easily navigate to any part of a file path, right from the editor.

To navigate to a file path from the editor
  1. Hold Ctrl and click the relevant tab in the editor.
  2. In the drop-down list, select the element you need. For example, if you select com as shown below, the file manager opens for C:\FontChooser\src. with the com directory selected:

    navigateToFilePath

Note

To just view the path to a file, place the mouse pointer over the tab where the file is opened:

showFilePath.png
