Finding your files quickly is one of the core key features of The Squealer. In fact, it was the primary reason why it was created and the first major feature. A dictionary of your project files are maintained which once indexed, allow you to load files by the filename, part of the filename or even the directory name. Chosen files will be loaded straight into your favourite editor.

Try it out by hitting F3 and enter part of a filename. If there's more than one result you'll get a choice otherwise it will load immediately. If you want to load multiple files, then just enter more than one number.
