Is there a key shortcut in Visual Studio to find & open a file inside your solution without using Resharper or any other tools?

The accepted solution doesn't work on the newer versions.
For Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 do the following:
Update 1:
Now, pressing Ctrl + Shift + T and typing the file name works!
Update 2:
On Visual Studio 2019 now it's possible to do a similar search via Ctrl + Q.
But it works slightly sloppy since it shows VS-related stuff as well.
Original answer:
- Press these keys to open the "Go to" popup:
Ctrl + , - Type there:
f Space Filename - Press Enter
Notes:
- We are writing
f
to make VS search only on files. We can also, use other letters. For more info type?
in the "Go to" popup. - For more keys and for Visual Studio 2012 to 2015 take a look at this answer.
This answer is outdated; see here for latest information.
You need the Find box in the toolbar for this to work.
(If you change your mind about addins, SonicFileFinder is for this very purpose, and free.)
Similar to Just Shadow's answer I discover that, on Visual Studio 2017, you can do the following:
Press Ctrl + 1, then f
Or you could go to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard
and change the shortcut of Edit.GoToFile
for whatever you like.
I replaced mine with: Ctrl + O
