The previous versions of eclipse (3.1 backwards) would allow good keyboard use of the open-resource dialog.
e.g.
With multiple projects open at once all containing a file called pom.xml, you used to be able to do
Ctrl+Shift R     // Open resource dialog
pom

Full text of description

The previous versions of eclipse (3.1 backwards) would allow good keyboard use of the open-resource dialog.
e.g.
With multiple projects open at once all containing a file called pom.xml, you used to be able to do
Ctrl+Shift R     // Open resource dialog
pom              // Selects multiple files in multiple projects
Q                // Move to first entry for a project with a name starting with a Q

Now, since all entries in the list start with pom.xml, then have the project name, this short cut method of moving through files is completely lost.

I imagine I am not the only one that this will annoy a lot, and since this is an operation I do a lot (so others probably do too) I think it is worth fixing.

Cheers,

David.

Bug 86973 would solve this problem by supporting path patterns, e.g. "Q*/pom" in your case.
