There are three different tool windows allowing you to navigate between files of your Visual Studio solution in CodeRush. The functionality of these three windows could be actually contained in a single window with a couple of switch options, but historically they have appeared variously in the following order:

Browse Recent Files

This is a special tool window for browsing recently opened (accessed) files inside Visual Studio. It is available via the corresponding File -> Browse Recent Files… menu item, or via the Ctrl+Shift+. (dot at the end) shortcut. This is what it looks like:

Open Files

This tool window lists currently opened files in Visual Studio IDE, and allows you to quickly switch between them with a single mouse click. This window is some kind of an addition to Ctrl+Tab Visual Studio built-in behavior with advanced options. The appropriate shortcut can be created to toggle the visibility of this tool window. This is what it looks like:

Quick File Nav

This feature allows you to switch between all files of a solution, no matter if they are opened or closed. The shortcut key for this tool window is the Ctrl+Alt+F. Once you press the shortcut, the following window appears at the editor caret position or at the center of the Visual Studio main window:
