It does lazy/fuzzy completion so generally by navigation is letter-letter->tab->letter->tab->letter return. As my project tree is in grep I also use helm-git-grep when searching for things that I don't know where they are defined. I have another shortcut to ack-and-a-half that searches down from my current directory. With all those I find navigating around pretty easy. -- Alex Bennée
