Open the keymap, and "Go To File..." is listed under the "Tools"
category.
Yeah, that's a strange place. We're well aware that the keymaps editor
needs improvements (and in particular, search).

I'm not sure what feature this is.

Just FYI, Ctrl-Shift-1 does it so you don't have to do this via the
mouse
every time,

This is Ctrl-Shift-. (dot) in NetBeans. With comma it goes the
opposite direction.

Ok. You might want to use Go To Type instead of Go To File, which
despite the name lets you jump
to arbitrary classes, modules or methods. (To jump to an arbitrary
method, prefix it with #, e.g. #to_s lets you
jump to all the to_s methods). In the Go To Type dialog you can do
all kinds of filtering -- wildcards/regexps,
camelcase matching, etc.

Yep, we know - and it's definitely slated for a rewrite.

That one already has a default keybinding - Ctrl-Shift-1 (which should
also be shown in the context menu on the right hand side).

Really? Can you provide more details on this? The debugger should
support the fast debugger interface for C Ruby (it will attempt to
install the relevant gem) which should make debugger really fast. And
in recent (6.5) builds of NetBeans we also have fast debugger support
for JRuby now that JRuby has hooks for it.
