Xcode File Navigation Shortcuts

Two of my most-used keyboard shortcuts in Xcode must be ⌘-Shift-O (Open Quickly) and ⌘-Shift-J (Reveal in Project Navigator).

Reveal in Project Navigator is really useful because it lets me quickly browse related files, rather than having to navigate the directory structure manually.

A really cool website for little snippets of Xcode goodness like this is xcode.tips. Here are the related entries for these two features:
