Ctrl+5 to quickly 'find a class', similar to the existing Ctrl+6/7 for properties/methods

The new Ctrl+6/7 shortcuts, added to the Class Hierarchy Browser in Jade 2016 SP1, to allow a developer to quickly filter/select a property/method respectively are a vast improvement. Could we have a similar 'Ctrl+5' shortcut to allow us to select a class that behaves in the same way, so that you can type any part of the class name to quickly navigate to a class, rather than the current 'F4 - Find Type' dialog where you have to correctly type as much of the first part of a class name as required to get to, or close to, the desired class in the list of classes.

Someone else suggested it would be beneficial to add similar 'partial match' functionality to the existing 'F4 - Find Type' dialog as well, for users who prefer that workflow.

This is already implemented in 2018.

What would be good would be both. I originally had the suggestion for improving the F4 find type, but the advantage the Ctrl+6/7 options currently have is that they're not application modal like the F4 find type dialog. I'll update the suggestion shortly to request they also consider improving the F4 find type dialog so it does partial matches on class names as well.

Wouldn't it be better to improve the existing Find Type dialog to provide this behaviour? This would provide a better transition than making everyone remember another keyboard shortcut.
