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/Page Down to find the file. This is not very effective; it takes to much time to locate the file, mostly since Page Up/Page Down jumps some 50-100 files/folders at a time.
I think I'm looking for something similar to Textmate's "go to file".
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.
