How to quickly open a file in Visual Studio 2012

Look into the EDIT Menu at Navigate To... Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+,


I wish there is a simple shortcut to just open a file within a solution.

These 3 are close but none of them is perfect.

  1. Ctrl+; has a delay and does not clear your search after you open the file.

  2. Ctrl+, takes too long initially and it shows method names etc, showing a lot of irrelevant results if you just want to open a file.

  3. Using Command Window you have to type open or of, but in some cases this could/might be the fastest.

    Hit Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Command Window, then type of your_filename

I use Ctrl+; then filename then enter then enter.
