File name completion via hotkey

[cacamama]

Hey David,
hope you're doing well. I intended to make a feature request/suggestion, and ended up writing an autohotkey script demonstrating said feature (it's makeshift at best, but it works). I also recorded a screencast, for your convenience.

Whenever I am at an "open file" dialogue, I fire up Everything, search for the file I want, right click on the result, select copy full path, alt-tab back to the file selection dialogue, and paste the path. It's tiring =)
I figured, with a hotkey, Everything could replace the keywords I typed with the actual file name found, lickety-split. I know it's not a groundbreaking idea, but it provides great convenience. Here are the links for the screencast and the source of the script:

I would have uploaded the compiled binary as well, but figured you wouldn't want to run executables sent to you by strangers =)
I'd greatly appreciate it if you implemented such a feature.
Anyway, take care.

I have added: Attach "Everything" to open / save as dialogs to my "Things to do" list.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Great! Thanks.

Any word on when the new version's coming out?

I'll add another "vote" for this feature.

I would imagine something like a new shortcut you can use in the results window, which will insert the text of the full path to the file into the previously open window.
