Visual Studio 2010 shortcut to find classes and methods?

For example, go to the combo box (CTRL+/) and type: >of MyClassName. As you type, intellisense will refine the options in the dropdown.

In my experience, this is faster than Navigate To and doesn't bring up another dialog to deal with. Also, this combo box has a lot of other nifty little shortcut commands:
