The keyboard shortcut for "Open File in Solution..." (Shift+Alt+O) is disabled when no document is open in the VS2012 text editor. I then have to use the mouse to use the functionality.

I would prefer to have the keyboard shortcut enabled whenever a solution is open. The shortcut for "Find Symbol..." (Shift+Alt+S) works exactly that way and I see no reason why "Open File in Solution..." should not work the same.

This can be easily fixed. Simply go into:

IDE Options -> Environment -> Keyboard

and search for the command VAssistX.OpenFileInSolutionDialog, and now set the keyboard binding to have scope "Global" rather than "Text Editor". The easiest way to do this is to add a second keyboard binding, for Global.

This happens because VA is trying to be respectful of your existing keyboard mappings, and we are trying to avoid replacing them, since replacing your existing keyboard mappings is a good way to upset our users. From memory, by default, Alt-Shift-O is the shortcut key for open webpage, when no code files are open.
