NB "Go to Type" is there an option to...?

I work on a large project (3700+ class files; 70+ 3rd-party libraries).  When I invoke the "Go to Type" (CTRL-O) and start typing the name of the class I'm looking for, the list automatically shows all applicable classes.  Great!  But, because we're using oodles of 3rd-party libraries, the project classes (which is, most likely what I'm looking for) get drowned out by the classes in the 3rd-party libraries.

It would be extremely useful if one could have a check somewhere on this dialog to exclude 3rd-party libraries.  This selection should persist across NB restarts.  Alternatively, the project-specific classes should be shown *before* 3rd-party library classes.

Is this already an RFE somewhere?  If not, I can create an issue for this.

On a different note, it would be nice to be able to bring up any file - not just classes with CTRL-O.  I know, I know, the name of the dialog is "Go to Type", but it's very desriable to be able to open XML, HTML, etc. files without going to a different dialog.  I'll file an RFE if this feature doesn't already exist.

If any of these things already exist, please let me know.
thnx.
tom
