IntelliJ IDEA: how to quickly navigate to a file?

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?

Shift + Shift in IntelliJ IDEA 13.

Ctrl + Shift + N to search files.

Ctrl + N to search classes.

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.

IDEA Enter file name

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

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