Description emi 2009-10-26 15:21:22 UTC 
I've used "Go to File" for quite some time and the nice thing with that dialog is that you can select multiple matches
with shift and then you open multiple files at once.

"Go to Type" doesn't respect this contract so for example if I want to load some abstract class and it's implementation
(which share the same prefix), I'll have to open the dialog twice and type the prefix twice (as that's not remembered).
This seems inefficient as I spend more time re-opening the dialog, typing the prefix and waiting for the search to finish.

Requested feature works for me @ NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201205090400) / 7.2. Using the mouse OR keyboard.
