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

Of course, I'm not insisting that it's been done right away, just that it would 
be really good to improve this even further at some point.

Speaking of the performance, I often work on a project that has over 30k 
classes and more than 65k files in total, and the Go to Type / Go to File are 
life savers because Go to Declaration (or Ctrl+click) often struggles greatly 
and sometimes outright fails. I suspect this is due to the project size since I 
didn't have this kind of issue with smaller projects. At the same time, 
searching with Go to Type / Go to File is usually almost instant, even if I 
count the time needed to find out which class name is it that I want to 
navigate to, it's often still a faster way.

> Go to File search should accept paths too

> 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.
