File nesting dialog

JetBrains Rider provides a default configuration of file types and typical suffixes that are used for related file types — for example, a file with the .map.ts suffix is normally related to a file having the same name and the .ts extension — such files will be automatically grouped in the Solution Explorer.

You can configure these relations or disable logical nesting altogether by clicking on the toolbar of the Solution Explorer and choosing File Nesting…:

JetBrains Rider: Grouping related files using file nesting

Grouping of files in this way will not make any changes in your project/solution config files.

Item	Shortcut	Description
Show files with the same names as nested		When the checkbox is selected, JetBrains Rider recognizes child files based on the patterns from the list and shows them grouped under the corresponding parents. Compare the presentation of the above TypeScript example with file nesting enabled When the checkbox is cleared, JetBrains Rider shows parents and children at the same level.
	`Alt+Insert`	Add a new row and specify the "parent" file suffix and the matching "child" file suffix. List all patterns explicitly without using wildcards or regular expressions.
	`Alt+Delete`	Remove the selected rule from the list.
Reset to Default		Discard all your custom patterns and reload the default rules.
