IntelliJ IDEA: how to quickly navigate to a file?

Question

My project in IntelliJ IDEA has many files grouped in many folders.

Each time I want to find a specific file, I browse through the folders, then browse through the files which is boring.

Can I locate a file by typing some initial characters of its name or similarly?

Answer 1

Ctrl + Shift + N

There will be a popup, start writing some part of the filename. Pressing the key combination one more time while writing will Include non-project files in the search, for instance files from libraries.

The popup is smart, so you can write small parts of the filename to quickly filter the list. Example:

You can use Ctrl + N for classes, or press Shift twice for Search Everywhere.
