If using vscodevim extension, ctrl + p won't work so I saw another answer using:

ctrl + shift + p

which opens the command palette. Hit backspace to remove the '>' and then start typing your filename.

Answer 4

Using Go to File... which is under the Go menu or using keyboard shortcut:

• On Windows Ctrl+p or Ctrl+e
• On macOS Cmd ⌘+p
• On Linux Ctrl+p or Ctrl+e

Then type the file name.

Also be sure to checkout that you can set your own keybindings and that there are cheatsheets available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
