Command Window in Visual Studio

Tired of scrolling through your solution explorer looking for that class. You know the name of it, but you making that mouse wheel work overtime to find the class in your project.

To get around this just use your Command window in visual studio.  To open the command window
1. click on the view menu on the menu at the top of visual studio, or better yet, just 
2. Go to the other windows 
3. select command window
or shortcut keys ctrl+alt+a

this will open the command window docked at the bottom of visual studio.

Inside the command window you can just type "of" and part of the file name.  The command window will give you suggestions and you can pick the class file you want.


This has been a huge time saver for me.  Try it out.
