Feature: Add ability to show search results in containing folder
Use cases
Often I am searching for files using the Gnome Activities tool (by pressing super key). In many cases I don't want to open the file, but for example copy it somewhere, send it per mail somewhere etc. I can only click on the search result, which opens the file. There is no right click menu, and no modifier key (ctrl + click, alt+click) that allows me to open the folder in which the file resides. Therefore I have to manually browse in Nautilus to the directory to be able to copy or send the file
Desired behavior
Have a modifier key (ctrl or alt) which when pressed before clicking the result opens the folder of the file instead of the file itself. The Mac Spotlight feature does the same if you hold down the "command" key.
Benefits of the solution
- Shorter workflows
- Easier for users coming from Mac to adapt Gnome.
Possible drawbacks
- Small amount of added complexity-
