make sure this feature is disabled initially and then use the shortcut twice every-time you use it. You can assign some single-press handy shortcut like “ctrl+shift+D”. It will track the current file and then immediately disable tracking, so the solution explorer will not keep jumping to the active file when you navigate through your other opened files.
Hope it helps.

This feature is actually annoying for me most of the time…so I don't want to enable/disable the global vs settings, but just like in resharper(I guess), I'd like to track/locate JUST the current file in the solution-explorer, through a shortcut. Is there a way to do that or any alternate tweak or something??? It would really help, and ofcourse save a lot of time too!!!

In the event you want to only track the current file through a keyboard shortcut – the activity is “View.TrackActivityinSolutionExplorer”
(assign keys here -> Tools – Options – Environment – Keyboard)
