request: keyboard shortcut for context menu "Explore here" (open file's folder)

[Nod5]

Request: add a keyboard shortcut to run the context menu "Explore here" command that opens the selected file's folder in Explorer. I suggest ctrl+o as in Open. The context menu's "Explore here" works on all files including local .url files.

Background:
With AutoHotkey we can achieve this for most files by using FARR's control+C shortcut to copy a file's full path.
But that does not work on local .url files since for them FARR's ctrl+C copies the URL rather than the full path to the local file.
A non perfect workaround sends keys to open the context menu.

Code: ( autohotkey)

;control+o to open folder for selected file in FARR
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe FindAndRunRobot.exe
^o::
ControlGetFocus, cFocus, A
if (cFocus == "TNextGrid1")
{
  clipboard =
  send ^c
  SplitPath, clipboard, , dir
  If InStr( FileExist(dir) , "D")
    Run % dir
  ;workaround for .url files where FARR's ctrl+C return the URL
  ;limitation: the context menu briefly flashes and send keys may fail
  Else If InStr(clipboard, "://")
  {
    send +{AppsKey}
    send e
  }
}
return
#IfWinActive

edit: clarified and added workaround in the AutoHotkey script

I suppose for your purposes you don't mind if I add a more esoteric hotkey that won't conflict with anything else (the way Ctrl+O would)... So if I make it like Ctrl+Shift+E something silly that would still be ok for your purposes?

Any hotkey however weird would do just fine. I'll just remap it with AutoHotkey.

Is it possible to add "open location" action to actions in Hotkeys list? So we can use Alt+#, or better a Alt+Shift+# to open location of #th item?
