I am used to Resharper where I can search for files, not the content, but the filename, which makes it quick to open new files.

Is this feature implemented in Visual Studio Code and is there a shortcut for it?

Using Go to File... which is under the Go menu or using keyboard shortcut:

  • On Windows Ctrl+p or Ctrl+e
  • On macOS Cmd ⌘+p
  • On Linux Ctrl+p or Ctrl+e

Then type the file name.

Also be sure to checkout that you can set your own keybindings and that there are cheatsheets available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
