PhatStudio - free Visual Studio add-in for fast file navigation

About PhatStudio

PhatStudio is a free add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio (VS2005, VS2008, VS2010 and VS2012 are supported) that lets you quickly navigate files in large projects with just a few keystrokes. It lets you navigate files either by the Open File dialog (bound to Alt+O by default), or the PhatStudio Explorer tool window. Type in multiple terms separated by spaces to match on all terms.

It also includes a header flip/switch to related file feature, bound to Alt+S by default. Header flip will switch between a .cpp file and corresponding .h/.hpp file. It will also switch between other related file types, such as aspx/aspx.cs and ascx/ascx.cs.

PhatStudio is an open source product distributed under GPLv3. It's written in C# and full source code is available on our SourceForge website.

Why PhatStudio?

We made PhatStudio because there was no free Visual Studio add-in that did fast file navigation by substring match that we could find that we wanted to use on a daily basis. This feature is fairly crucial if you work in projects with lots (hundreds or thousands) of files.

Some similar add-ins that we tried before we decided to write PhatStudio: A big shout out to the authors of the above products, but we decided to write our own add-in to get the responsiveness and feature set we wanted for something we were going to use every day in large projects. So PhatStudio was born.

Our SourceForge project website is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phatstudio/.
