PhpED: Fastest way to open a file?

Hi!

I'm looking for a faster way to open files in PhpED projects.

The way I do it is to pull up the Workspace pane with Ctrl+Alt+W (explorer is Ctrl+Alt+E), then Page Up/Down to find the file. This is not very effective; it takes to much time to locate the file, mostly since Page Up/Down jumps some 50-100 files/folders at a time.

I think I'm looking for something similar to Textmate's "go to file".

Thanks!

Even I have faced the same issue. On the project if you type a file or folder name, phped will take you there. But this is not very helpful if you have lots of file and many duplicates in there.

What I do is "everything". Whenever I need a file, I click on everything tool in the taskbar then type the filename or type folder/filename and then double click it to open in PHPed.

And yes I presume you are using windows like majority of PHPEd users.

How can I make it search only the current project?

use folder name, for example you want to search config.inc.php which is in folder called appsoft. Just type appsoft/config.inc.php and the file will appear.

Cool app, very fast. But then I would have to write the full path, eg project/foo/bar/file.php. I'll give it a try, but an app with smarter search would be great.

If it would save the sorting, that would help a lot. If I sort by last modified, the most likely file comes first.

Been using this for a couple of hours now, works good. Thanks

What you need really is the way Eclipse handles opening files with Ctrl-Shift-R and functions with Ctrl-Shift-T. That's an amazing productivity tool. I hate PDT for debugging PHP though - PHPEd is much better. I suggested these shortcuts to them before but I don't think they caught on. :( Ah, and Everything didn't work for me - it didn't see the network drive where my code is shared.

Really looking forward to [intype](http://intype.info). http://twitpic.com/2x86ib/full
