Stupid Visual Studio Trick, Part 3

Part 1: Navigate with the back/forward buttons on your mouse
Part 2: Fix annoying jumping toolbars

This tip comes courtesy of Rob Prouse who posted this recently in a comment on this very site. Here’s a quick way to open up a file without taking your hands off the keyboard:

"In the toolbar, type >of in the find window, then start typing the filename you are looking for. An autocomplete list of all files in your project will come up that you can select from. Select, hit enter and up pops the file in the editor!"

Great tip! Thanks Rob!

UPDATE: Here’s another post outlining even more tricks with the Find box.
