Ctrl+3 in Eclipse can do this:

Is there an equivalent in Visual Studio? Or via some 3rd party plugin?

A: 

If you limit yourself to just Visual Studio, you do have a limited "quick access" shortcut:

Ctrl+Tab: Quick Access to Active Tool Windows and Files (from VS2005!)

Mostly for tool access and file switching, so in itself not as complete than Eclipse Quick Access list.

Ctrl+3 is very good for feature discovery so I don't really consider this VS dialog an alternative although it is a creative answer :)

@Borek: I agree and never presented that as a real "alternative".

For source file switching, you can also hit Ctrl-Alt-Down arrow and type to switch to an open file. You can also use the find combo box on the toolbar by clicking on it or hitting Ctrl-/ then typing '>of'. A list of all files in the solution appears in the dropdown and you can type to select a file to edit.

To build on what VonC said, in addition to Ctrl-Tab, you can hit Alt-F7 to bring up that same window dialog but have the starting selection be the first tools window. Again, though, not as complete as what Eclipse may have.

The answer is probably: no, there currently isn't.
