如何过滤Netbeans中的文件/项目视图？

Question

I know this is not programming related question so to speak, but since we are programmers and we might use Netbeans for PHP development.

I am wondering how can I get in Netbeans a selection from a list of files quickly. Suppose there are different folders for MVC pattern and I edit 1 section of it. I would like to see the 3 files that I work with only now.

Suppose I want to get files from all folders that ends in : "_suffix.php"

Can I do that somehow quickly?

You can use Navigate --> Go To File which pops open a combobox dialog that searches through all open projects (preference on current one) and include paths, allowing for wildcards.

I've bound (Tools --> Options --> Keymap) it to an easy keyboard shortcut (CTRL+SHIFT+E) and use it almost as much as CTR+TAB to switch around files.
