access windows explorer context menu from farr?
« on: December 27, 2015, 03:34 PM »
Sometimes I find a file through farr, but instead of opening it I want something off the winexp context menu (edit, open with, delete, rename).  Any way to get there from farr?

right click on the item, then choose the option that says "Shell Context Menu..."  That will pop up the normal menu for the item.

Sorry I missed the obvious!
