Hi Team,
Version 1.5.0.1296a (x64)
Scenario:
as attached the screenshot, locate a search result, right-click option, choose the 2nd option to open path;
Question:
as a user who're mainly use the keyboard without the mouse, can here have a shortcut to this option, e.g.: p(means: "Path", just as the "o" for "Open"), then, i stroke p->Enter to open path, which can be more efficient & smooth to do, why? because this option(open path) is quite important/frequently used: especially compared with the other 2:("Open" is no need to be set with "o" practically: if i want to open a file, i just stroke the Enter key to open it, it doesn't make sense to stroke "o"->Enter to make it;
"Copy Full Path to Clickboard", i don't know other users, but, for me, just no need for this function as it needed;
Expectation:
have a shortcut to this option, e.g.: p(means: "Path"), or some other method better(the "p" is as far as i can see to make it one option);
thanks for the investigation and possible optimisation.

Note you can customize the Open Path string with the localization_strings ini setting and add your own menu mnemonic:Version 1.5.0.1296a (x64)
- Completely exit Everything (File -> Exit)
- From the Start menu, search for Notepad
- Right click Notepad and click Run as an administrator.
- In Notepad, from the File menu, click Open.
- Open your Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe
For example: C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything.ini - Change the following line:
localization_strings=
to:
localization_strings=Open Path=Open &Path - Save changes and restart Everything.
