Intellij: how to directly open relevant file when clicking on class icon?

enter image description here

My file structure looks like the above picture.

Now, when I click on Environment, it shows me all of the methods on the sidebar, rather than opening up the file Environment.java. I want it to open the file instead.

How do I accomplish this?

  1. Click on the little settings icon at the top of that project window.
  2. Select “Autoscroll to source”

That causes the editor pane for that file (if open) to become the current pane. If it’s not already open, double click.

I always also select “Autoscroll from source” too, so selecting an editor window causes the same file to be selected in the project window

By convention, that menu is doing what it should; it shows you the symbols contained in that class.

If you want to navigate to the file, don't rely on your mouse and instead use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+N (or equivalent on Mac) to open a class.
