I know about the "~" option in the Cocoa open file dialog too ;-) Thanks, Alex PS the current C-s incremental search widget could perhaps even be re-used for C-x C-f ?

I have no idea what C-x C-f does in Emacs, but are you aware of ⌘T? It won’t let you open files not in the current project though (as I assume C-x C-f will).

Iirc you can open files via typing with tab-completion - starting in a set directory (usually the home directory).

Allan, thanks I didn't know about Command-t it looks extremely useful.
Niels is right : C-x C-f in Emacs opens a status line and a buffer where you can browse/navigate starting from the buffer's current directory, to any other directory and using Tab completion. So you can very quickly browse out to say /Volumes/webdav/etc/etc and open a file with just a few keystrokes.
But I think just dropping folders onto my Project pane and using Command-t will be a good alternative though.
