A Request for NetBeans: faster go-to file

A small thing, but it impacts every moment spent with code: the speed of the as-you-type file lookup/open. On Netbeans, Control-Shift-O takes several seconds (up to 6 seconds in my experience) with large projects.
In contrast, Aptanta's, equivalent Apple-Shift-R is instantaneous -- it behaves like a direct link from thought to file. It also helps that the default keyboard shortcut rolls off nicely with one hand.
So here's my NetBeans enhancement request for faster go-to file.

The downside to this is that you always have to remember to refresh (F5) the project when you change a file outside of the IDE.
