With the size of files I work in I literally live in the Code Explorer as much as in the editor. It would be nice to be able to open the Code Explorer via hot key, start typing for the Item I'm looking for (preforming an incremental search/filtering) find the item I want, then press enter and the Code Explorer window closes and the editor is positioned accordingly. If what I'm looking for doesn't exist then pressing escape would close the window ...
Thoughts...?
Thanks,
Anthony

Re: Code Explorer ... Advance lookup/search capabilities
Nice idea ... definitely something I also would use. But imho the code explorer shouldn't open and close for such a feature - especially, if you have the code explorer always opened ... like I do 
So by pressing the shortcut the code explorer may only be focused - waiting for type search/filtering?
Nevertheless it would be a usefull feature

Re: Code Explorer ... Advance lookup/search capabilities
it's a nice idea. textmate has this and it's handy but...
not sure how much faster this is from using a shortcut to the toolbar search (ctrl alt F?) and then hitting find next on your keyboard until you get to the item you want.
