[FEATURE]: Desktop: add copy path + open/reveal actions in file/folder context menus #14784

Closed as not planned

Description

@olibols

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

What do you want to change or add?

In the desktop client, add context menu actions for files/folders in the session UI:

  • Copy relative path
  • Copy absolute path
  • Copy file contents (files)
  • Reveal in file explorer (desktop/local only)
  • Open in default app (files, desktop/local only)

Why is this useful?

Desktop workflows often require quickly copying paths or opening files in native tools.
Currently this is missing/inconsistent.
This improves parity with desktop expectations.

Scope

Desktop-focused UX improvement and bug fix in app UI context menus/path handling.

    I’d like to add one more request to this context menu enhancement for the Desktop app:

    Please add an Open in Integrated Terminal action for files and folders in the file tree context menu.

    Expected behavior:

    • Right-click a folder -> Open in Integrated Terminal
      • Open or focus the integrated terminal with cwd set to that folder
    • Right-click a file -> Open in Integrated Terminal
      • Open or focus the integrated terminal with cwd set to the file’s parent directory

    Why this would help:

    • It makes switching from file browsing to terminal work much faster
    • It matches common IDE/desktop workflows
    • It feels like a natural fit alongside actions such as copy path, reveal in file explorer, and open in default app

    If a terminal session already exists, reusing it would be great.
    If not, opening a new integrated terminal would also be fine.
