use digit to open directory
« on: October 06, 2009, 08:36 PM »
Hello,

I searched the help and forum for a while but couldn't find what I was looking for.

When I do a directory search and press "5" or "Numpad 5" for the fith entry in the result I open that directory in the search string and have to press enter to open it.

Is there away that the digit would open the directory directly in my prefered file manager like it works with opening files?

Thanks!

i didn't know this wasn't possible..

edit: yes, the numpad keys only insert the folder name into search bar.
