How to open file by it's name in VS code?

I have thousands of files and foldesr and cant browse them in File | Open or Explorer windows because it is very slow.

Can I open file by it's filename in VS Code?

If I press Ctrl-P and enter my filepath, relative to opened directory

mydir1/mydir2/myfile-a:b.cfg

it says No results found.

You can open your folder in code, then use Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P on mac) and type in the file's name (documentation).

Alternatively, if you don't mind using the command line, you can type in your terminal:

code myfile.txt myfile2.html

(i.e. code followed by a list of files to open), and the specified files will open in VS code.
