Project Tool Window
Alt+1
This tool window lets you look at your project from various viewpoints and perform the tasks such as creating new items (directories, files, classes, and so on), opening files in the editor, navigating to the code fragment of interest, and more.
Most of the functions in this tool window are accessed as context menu commands in the content pane and associated shortcuts.
