Highlight and JUMP TO current active page in the page navigator

Use case or problem

Similar to Visual Code Editor where the active or selected file is highlighted and then JUMPED TO in the file explorer, the active page being worked on (where the cursor is) in Obsidian should also be highlighted and JUMPED TOin page navigator.

In the screen shot the ci.yml is the active working file and is highlighted in the explorer on the left.

Switching to another file and the explorer will JUMPED TO that file and highlight it in the explorer.

If the page is in a folder structure not expanded Obsidian does not JUMPED TO or highlight the page.

Proposed solution

Use a similar approach to Visual Studio Code.

Does toggling on Auto-reveal current file do what you have in mind?

On desktop, the toggle is at the top of the file explorer:
