The Go To File command doesn't show files in the same easy-to-read hierarchy as the project drawer. This is especially evident when a project contains many files that have been carefully arranged into custom groups. In this situation, the flat list of the Go To File dialog isn't as easy to navigate as the project drawer.
This is why I like to select files directly from the drawer instead of with Go To File. With mouse navigation, this works fine; I can simply point and click. But I prefer to use the keyboard as much as possible, and there doesn't seem to be any way to move the keyboard focus to the project drawer (unless of course I use the mouse, but that defeats the whole point of keyboard navigation). Is there some hidden key combo not mentioned in the manual that will do this? Thanks,
Trevor

Option-cmd-` will switch focus between drawer and main window (on Tiger).
Control-tab will advance the focus, in the case of TextMate, to the drawer.
These are standard OS X keys.
