I use http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookMarks and http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InteractivelyDoThings These features might also be of interest: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FileNameCache http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FileSets http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RecentFiles This is just scratching the surface, there are some more extensions you might like that make emacs aware of a "project".
