The quickest way to open an existing file or to create a new file is to use the e command. Open the SlickEdit command line (press Esc or click in the message area), type e file (where file is the name of the file you want to create or open), then press Enter. This creates or opens the file in a new buffer.
Additional tips:
* If you're opening a file, you need to use the full path or your working directory must contain the file.
* Put quotes around the file name if it contains spaces.
* Command Line Completions automatically assist with entering paths.
* If Completion prevents you from typing a space, press Shift+Space.
* The e command has lots of options. See "e" in the Help > Index for more information.
