<para>To be able to quickly open/switch between files, Kate comes with a built-in quick open
dialog. You can open it with <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>O</keycap></keycombo>.
</para>
<para>
Quick open can show all open documents in Kate as well as all files in open projects. To
be able to see project files, you need to enable <link linkend="kate-application-plugin-projects">Project Plugin</link>.

<title>Using Quick Open</title>
<para>
Using quick open is very simple. Once you open it, just type the name or portions of the name of the file
you want to open and quick open will filter the list based on what you typed. Hitting &Enter; opens the selected file,
while &Esc; hides the quick open.
</para>
<para>
By default, only the file name is matched while filtering. If you want to match path, you need
to have a "/" in the typed text. For example: "doc/index" will match all the files that contain
"index" inside the folder "doc".
</para>
<para>
The documents which are already open are highlighted in bold and are listed at the top when the dialog
opens. Also, when quick open shows up the previous open document is already selected so you can just
press &Enter; and it will take you to that document.

<title>Quick Opening Files</title>
<para>As clicking on files in the tree view is not the fastest way to open a file, &kate;
provides a built-in quick open mechanism you can activate with
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>O</keycap></keycombo>.
What you the get is a list like this:</para>
<screenshot id="screenshot-project-quickopen">
<screeninfo>Quick Open</screeninfo>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject><imagedata fileref="project-quickopen.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>
<para>You can filter by typing parts of the file name you are looking for, and you can
also navigate with the arrow keys and page up/down through the list.
Hitting &Enter; activates the selected file, while &Esc; hides the quick open view again.</para>
<para>Further, the quick open remembers the previous file. So when you change to the
quick open view the previously activated file is automatically selected and you just
need to hit &Enter;, which comes very handy at times.</para>
