Quick thought: TAB might interfere with (expected?) Gui. I think it would be best to use the same key as in Explorer for "dir up": Backspace.
Issue is contextual change of behavior here. You're looking for CLI style auto completion but tabbing is used currently as is for accessability.
KeyPirinha has this functionality, which I often use as my main use case for a launcher is to avoid opening File Explorer.
Want to navigate and preview directories using just power toys run?
Right now I can use
~
to start looking for folders, and once in a folder I can use arrow keys to find a subfolder or a file. While hovering a subfolder I can type\
and it shows me the files and folders in that folder. To navigate backwards, I have to erase the last directory in the path.This can be optimized using
Tab
andShift + Tab
(or other intuitive shortcuts) to move forwards and backwards through the directories, thereby enabling users to quickly navigate their directories and find open files without open an explorer window, or lifting their hands off the keyboard!https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26184016/111481735-44244980-8759-11eb-90c9-2987c83e92ed.mp4
