Explorer a folder when having an Explorer Shell Shortcuts item #4

Hi,

First thing: thanks for this plugin, it's really neat!

I would like to be able to browse a Explorer Shell Shortcuts in the same way I browse files using FileBrowser. This would be the perfect flow:

  1. Search for the "Downloads" WinSys item
  2. Press TAB, like in FileBrowser
  3. See the content of the Download folder

I'm not even sure it's possible as I didn't developed any Keypirinha plugin, but this would be nice. FilesCatalog can do it if you select a folder, but I don't know how it's implemented.

Thanks and let me know if you need more detail!

Hi @Chouffy , to me this is a won't do as it is out of the scope of the purpose that this plugin provides, which is convenient shortcuts to commonly used folders and items on a Windows system. For the purposes of this plugin, it is enough to be able to search for a folder shortcut item in keypirinha and then opening it in explorer to view the contents.

You're free to combine the functionality of FilesCatalog and other shortcuts to make your own keypirinha plugin that does this.
