Is it always using find-file or you use some shortcuts to access commonly used folders/files? For example, if you have a project currently working on, which contains files spread in different folders, say: IZ> - Apache config files in /opt/apache/...

I use anything.el: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/anything-config.el http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/Anything It's really useful. I especially like to turn on the `locate' results, so I can quickly find results from the whole filesystem. Plus, another calculator never hurts. Ted
