Solution 1 - Intellij Idea
cmd+shift+o (cmd+shift+n in older versions) leads to the file open dialog (on mac).
You can use *
chars as wildcards. If there is more than 1 file with the name, you will see the directory of the file for each entry to help you make the choice.
Solution 2 - Intellij Idea
In Windows:
Ctrl + Shift + N
or
Navigate > File...
Solution 3 - Intellij Idea
My IntelliJ version is,
IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.4
For me, cmd+shift+n
doesn't work.
But,
command + shift + o
works perfectly for me.
The above shortcut will give you the dialog box to search a file.
For more help,
On the main menu, point to Navigate, and then choose Class, File, or Symbol respectively, or use the following shortcuts:
Class: ⌘O
File (directory): ⇧⌘O
Symbol: ⌥⌘O

Just hit quickly Shift Shift in a row to reveal a pop-up window to search for everything. You can then start typing to search for files. It's a fuzzy finder, so to match e.g. SomeClassWithALongName.java you can just type: sclwlna (or other letters combination, which has the same order of occurance in the target file name).

Well, this is very frequently asked a question by users who switch OS. I recently switched from Windows to MAC.
To open file shortcuts go as follows
Windows : ctrl+shift+n
MAC : command + shift + o
