How do I locate the current file in the project structure? (Similar to Visual Studio's Ctrl + Alt + L). What is the name of the operation (so I can define it in the keymap)

Alt + F1 (or Alt + Shift + 1 for linux) almost does what you want. You need to hit Enter afterwards as IDEA allows multiple "targets" for navigation (project structure, file structure etc).
(Note you can also set AutoScroll to Source and AutoScroll from source using the two "boxes with arrows" buttons above the project structure view but this can get annoying when it shoves you into the JDK source because you followed a reference to java.io.File.
The keymap defines it as Select current file or symbol in any view.
Do following will select your file automatically all time.
- Right click on Project/Packages area > Autoscroll to Source.
- Right click on Project/Packages area > Autoscroll from Source.
Please find image below.
In addition to the other options, in at least IntelliJ IDEA 2017 Ultimate, WebStorm 2020.2, and probably a ton of other versions, you can do it in a single shortcut.
Edit preferences, search for Select in Project View, and under Keymap, view the mapped shortcut or map one of your choice.
On the Mac, Ctrl + Option + L is not already used, and is the same shortcut as Visual Studio for Windows uses natively (Ctrl + Alt + L, so that could be a good choice.
If you are using Mac(OSX)
Based on the current tab, to select the file on project is : FN + OPTION + F1
Then in the popup you can Select in: Project View > Select In: Project
In Intellij Idea Community edition 2020.1 :
- Right click on project header
- Select 'Always Select Opened File'
