Hello guys.

I find very useful to be able to find/select at Project manager a file that currently opened in editor.
This can be done with Notebook tab context menu or context menu of Project manager (similar as <Find file...> now) or new toolbar button..

The case for the feature is large amount of files in project or deep project tree...

Thanks if some can implement this :)

Alt-G may be useful to you. It selects files by any part of the file name.

Thank for the advance
but the main idea should be don't type a filename since the file is already opened in editor..

There are three other features that list opened files in a list box which you choose by "enter key" or "mouse selection".

1) A drop-down list of open file is provided by an arrow to the right of the notebook tab bar with option Settings/Notebook Appearance/Use dropdown tab list

2) A list of open files is provided by Ctrl-Tab key with option Settings/Notebook Appearance/Use Smart Tab Switchng

3) A list of recently activated files is provided by the BrowseTacker plugin with mouse selection and Alt-Right/Down key selection.

Yes, I know, but the feature what I ask should work in backward direction!!! I don't ask to show list of opened files.
I need to search already opened file in project tree! If you have flat project structure you can misunderstand me... but thouse who work with large projects and deep directory structure know that it is very useful to serch in the project tree a place where the file is located.
