track active item in solution explorer ONLY on demand

I'm using VS 2010, 2012 & 2013.

Usually I don't want the IDE to auto-focus on the item in solution explorer but sometimes it's useful.

Is there any keyboard shortcut or a menu option to navigate to the file in solution explorer on demand?

Thanks :)

I know your question refers to 2010, 2012 & 2013, but VS 2017 has a button on the solution explorer to sync with active document:

For VS 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017: "Sync with Active Document" (default shortcut: Ctrl+[, S).

Go to Tools/Options/Enviroment/keyboard look for View.TrackActivityinSolutionExplorer and assign the shortcut that you want.

Here I needed to remove the shortcut first, because the ctrl+shift+t was already assigned.

Of course, you can assign other shortcut.
