Where is "navigate to" in Visual Studio 2010 Express C#

Is "Navigate to" one of the "missing" features from Visual Studio Express 2010?

Neither navigate to or extensions are included in the express versions of visual studio.

However, I use an external file-search program and it works just as well (Maybe quicker?)

Launchy - which brings a text input to focus in Windows on a keystroke (with a few modified settings):

  • I've changed the keystroke to CTRL + ,
  • Set the Catalog to my current source directory
  • Set only my source file-types be searched
  • Set the Include executables/directories to false
  • Auto open delay to 10ms
  • Check Hide Launchy when it loses focus
  • And Rescan the catalog

Then I just make sure all my source files are set to open with visual studio and as long as they're in my solution, it'll open the file as if I navigated to it in the Solution Explorer.

Bonuses: Launchy uses a more fuzzy search than Navigate To, and doesn't bloat VS's already poor performance.
