Open containing directory in Windows Explorer from IntelliJ

Question

Is there a way (keyboard shortcut?) to open the folder of the currently opened file in Windows Explorer?

What I mean is this: When a java source file is open in IntelliJ, I'd like to open Windows Explorer on the folder containing that file. Is there a short way of doing that?

Answer 1

You can add explorer as an external program and add a hot key for that. i.e. you will be able to select a directory or file and the same opens in windows explorer.

Answer 2

You can try one of these plugins:

• "OpenContainingFolder"
• "Open containing folder in a File Explorer"
