I have sticky keys here (I think?) [1] and
I didn't even know that was their official
name. I use them to navigate the filesystem but
yes, they can be used to invoke functions
as well.

So for example, to go to that particular file,
I hit

C-j e n

e = Emacs/Elisp file
n = navigate [the filesystem]

As you see, mnemonic which is all-but necessary
in this case since there are so many files.
Another example, to go to

    ~/.emacs.d/emacs-init/gnus/message-my.el [2]

I hit

C-j e g M

e = again Emacs/Elisp file
g = Gnus
M = message

(lowercase m is another file)
