If you care enough to have the updatedb properly configured, shift-ctrl-L is ALMOST as good (still lacks speed and type-on-until-satisfied) and I will give it a practical try.
When I wanted to suggest this to the wanted-feature list in the developer's forum, I found I was not the first, but it had not many "second this".
David, very good articles on file managers. My question is not specific to krusader, but for some reason I cannot comment on your more general article “8 file managers”.
Do you know a file manager that supports treeinfo files? A concept first already found with the mother of all file managers, the god ole Norton Commander, carried on with clones like the Total Commander (imho the best for “the other OS”).
The treeinfo file is simply a list of directory paths of a volume (basically a "find . -type d"), usually residing in the root of this volume (or a configurable location). The FM takes this as a DB to allow a quick jump deep into the directory tree by typing very few relevant letters of its name. (Type “bea” and it already suggests “/Music/oldstuff/70tth/beatles”) I use this feature a lot where it is given, but I dearly miss it with linux file managers.
