I use shift-alt-o pretty much exclusively to open files and it works perfectly. However, this causes a problem when I'm working in really large solutions with many ( >30 ) projects. If I have to make property changes to the file, such as compile options, then I have to hunt down the file in the Solution Explorer.

I realize there's an option in Visual Studio to keep track of the currently open item, but I just don't like how Solution Explorer keeps jumping around with that option turned on.

My suggestion is to make an option in Visual Assist to locate the file you currently have open in Solution Explorer (i.e. implement the macro at http://tinyurl.com/opwq9c)

You can assign a keyboard shortcut at

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard

for

View.TrackActivityinSolutionExplorer

So, when you want to locate the opened file in solution explorer, just press this shortcut twice, to find the file and then turn the tracking off. Alternatively you can assign a shortcut for the linked macro.
