you want the ctrl+p plugin

It's a fuzzy file finder.

For your example of `org/example/groupid/packageid/submodule/File.java` I might write "[Ctrl+P] pamodFi[Enter]"

If `File.java` is unique enough, I can just type that and it finds it without issue.

There's also filetree plugins if you really want the visual clutter

This is even how I navigate files in IntelliJ.
In IntelliJ, you don't normally need to look for files unless they're non-source code, as you can just go directly to types regardless of their file names.
Yeah it’s the general same concept though. Ctrl + P and type or shift + shift and type the thing you want.
On Mac, it's Cmd+o for types, Cmd+shift+o for actual file names.
