Problem

To locate a generated file in the system file manager, users currently have to copy its path and navigate there manually. A reveal action on the file or tab gives users a direct way to find it, for example before dragging it into another application.

Approach

Add a reveal action to the Files tree, file and diff tab context menus, and the Active tab group in the command palette. The tab context menu and palette share the same tabActions entry. The client names the action for the connected host. On macOS and Windows the system file manager selects the item. On Linux it opens the containing folder.

The action sends a worktree-relative path through workspace.reveal. The host checks that the item exists and resolves inside the worktree. Omitting the path opens the workspace root. The client enables item reveal on connected hosts that support protocol v122.

Changes

• Reveal files and folders from the Files tree. A compacted folder row targets its deepest folder.
• Reveal the worktree file associated with a file or diff tab. The right-clicked tab can be inactive or a preview.
• Search for >reveal in the command palette to reveal the active file or diff tab. This keeps the current tab and its preview state.
• Open either menu with Shift+F10 or the Context Menu key. Escape returns focus to the menu trigger.
• Show an error if the item has disappeared or the file manager cannot launch.

Screenshots

The macOS screenshots below show the same README.md context menu before and after the change, in the Files tree and on the file tab. They use the earlier feature build (cb4c326a) and its baseline at 1440 × 900.

Files tree

The new action appears below Copy relative path with a folder icon, matching the surrounding menu items.

Open the command palette and type >reveal. The Active tab result reveals the active file or diff tab. This screenshot shows the Linux host label.
