Would like to have a feature, like when selecting a word. Then Go to File..., should lists down the selected file.

Maybe it's a good idea, but now there are some extension which should can implement the function you mention

This is still important feature. selected/highlight text should be used to search for file open dialogue.

This would definitely increase the productivity, since this is a common action in my daily routine: I select the page controller's name and want to open it (since the Apex + Visualforce language doesn't detect it as a reference to file). So when I open the "Go to File..." dialog, I would like the selected text (controller's file name) to be pre-populated as a searched value.
