      The current process of opening a file requires multiple steps:

      • Click on the + button to create a new tab
      • Right-click to open the options menu
      • Find the correct option in the menu
      • Choose Script Editor
      • Click on the first of two menus with the same value: "Disconnected"
      • Choose "Interface" (or another submenu)
      • Choose the desired file

      It would be great to have a faster way to opening files, like VSCode and Sublime Text, where you can use the CTRL+P (CMD+P) and type the filename.

        When using Expansions it also requires even more menu diving:

          @daniloprates I just press F12 to goto the definition of any externally defined function / variable and it will automatically add a new tab.

          This works also when selecting a include("myFile.js") statement.

            @Christoph-Hart oh and another secret easter egg feature that I haven't told anyone:

            1. Open the full text search (default is Cmd+Shift+F)
            2. Search for files using the f XXX syntax. This will limit the results to only show files that contain XXX
            3. Clicking or press enter to open the result in a new tab.
