[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-5010) Go to File search should accept paths too

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5010?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17295861#comment-17295861 ] 

Czukowski commented on NETBEANS-5010:
-------------------------------------

[~emi] in my experience, Go to File is slightly faster than Go to Type, but only by a tiny amount, even though there are less types in my project than files.

I have to clarify about Ctrl+click, I often use it on method calls, so I guess it makes sense it's slower than file or type lookup, but when it takes too long or rejects the service outright (I'm under impression that this function is completely blocked while changes are being parsed), I use Go to File or Type as a shortcut as I'm usually able to 'guess' the type name correctly without scrolling ways up to check for a declaration. Ctrl+clicking on a type name works much faster, that is, when it does 😀

> Go to File seems to search only by the file name. For example, it takes only a double click to copy a file name including its path from a console (eg from git output), and it's a shame it cannot be pasted into Go to File dialog to open that file just as easily, without removing the path information first.
> Also if there are many files with the same name (eg due to some naming convention), there will be many results requiring some more time to locate the correct one.
> Therefore Go to File dialog should accept parts of file paths as well.
> On Windows, both forward and back slashes should be supported for directory separators.
