What shortcuts can I use in the Visual Studio Find textbox

In Visual Studio 2008, there's a "find" textbox in the tool bar at the top of my screen. If I type in 

>of myfile.vb

into that box, it will open myfile.cs (assuming it's in my project). I find this to be about the fastest way to open a file, because I don't even have to move my hands from the keyboard. I can open a file faster than I could get my hand to the mouse. Are there any other time-saving shortcuts I can use in the "find" textbox.

You can use it to execute any command no just >of.

Some commands I find useful:

>immed - opens immediate window if I missplaced it
>callstack - same but for callstack
